With the Royal Army Medical Corps (R. A. M. C.) by E. Charles Vivian Pdf

Excerpt from With the Royal Army Medical Corps (R. A. M. C.): At the Front To the average British civilian, the British Army, either in peace or war, is one whole organisation; one soldier is exactly like another soldier to the man in the street, for the volunteer system of service, peculiar to British rule as far as European civilisation is concerned, has set the Army quite apart from civilian life and ways of thought. To-day, with the fate of civilisation itself hanging on the doings of armies, there are men in Britain who do not know the difference between a squad and a squadron, between a combatant and a non-combatant unit.

Not illustrated. 1914 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER X War's Effects A Gunner of the Field Artillery, who was wounded at Mons, gives an idea of the way in which men were tended even in the hurry and confusion of the first days of war. Wounded by shell-fire, this man crawled for over a quarter of a mile under fire, and was then picked up by an ambulance wagon, where he stayed for two days. His next stage was a motor lorry, in which he remained for four days, and thence he was transferred to a field hospital, where for a time it was thought that he would not recover. In the end, however, he was able to be transported home, and made satisfactory recovery, though he will not go back to France to fight again. He counts among the permanent effects of war, though of actual fighting he saw but very little. p 169 One of the worst effects, when positions have to be held, is the number of bodies of horses that cannot be buried at once. Along the position of the Aisne the bodies of whole teams of horses lay piled up, struck down by shell-fire and left to rot. The British troops did their best in cases of this kind, but it was impossible to bury all the carcases, and thus the work of the sanitary section of the R. A. M. C. was rendered doubly hard, for in those decomposing carcases was danger of infection to the troops for miles round. A curious point in the earlier engagements was that nearly all the wounded who returned had been hit in the legs or feet. This was accounted for by the fact that, on the retreat, there was no chance for digging trenches, as was done later in positions that were held for some time, and the dropping shell-fire from the German guns fell behind such cover as the men selected for their positions on to their legs and feet. It is an old rule with regard to "taking...

The Royal Army Medical Corps in the Great War by Timothy McCracken Pdf

A pictorial history of the Royal Army Medical Corps’ service during World War I, featuring rare photographs from wartime archives. The Royal Army Medical Corps (RAMC) supported the British Army throughout the First World War, treating sick and wounded military personnel. The military nursing services and voluntary medical personnel provided vital support to RAMC medical units and hospitals, ensuring the effective treatment of casualties. The size of the armies, the intensity of the combat, the power of modern weaponry and the global nature of conflict meant the number of casualties proved challenging for the medical services of all combatants, including the RAMC. A range of previously unpublished photographs, in thematic chapters considering aspects such as service in the United Kingdom, global warfare and commemoration, illustrate experiences of RAMC and medical personnel during the First World War. The book contributes to wider understanding of the RAMC and medical services in the First World War, and will be of relevance to readers with an interest in medical, social and photographic history.

An Equal Burden by Jessica Meyer Pdf

An Equal Burden forms the first scholarly study of the Army Medical Services in the First World War to focus on the roles and experiences of the men of the ranks of the Royal Army Medical Corps (RAMC). These men, through their work as stretcher bearers and orderlies, provided a range of labour, both physical and emotional, in aid of the sick and wounded. They were not professional medical caregivers, yet were called upon to provide medical care, however rudimentary; they served in uniform, under military discipline, yet were forbidden, as non-combatants, from carrying weapons. Their service as men in wartime, was thus unique. Structured both chronologically and thematically, this study examines both the work that RAMC rankers undertook and its importance to the running of the chain of medical evacuation. It additionally explores the gendered status of these men within the medical, military and cultural hierarchies of a society engaged in total war, locating their service within the context of that of doctors, female nurses and combatant servicemen. Through close readings of official documents, personal papers, and cultural representations, both verbal and visual, it argues that the ranks of the RAMC formed a space in which non-commissioned servicemen, through their many roles, defined and redefined medical caregiving as men's work in wartime.

Faithful in Adversity by John Broom Pdf

An account of the World War II heroics of the corps that “revolutionized medical care for British troops . . . Most Highly Recommended” (Firetrench). On 28 September 1945, Field Marshal Montgomery expressed his “admiration and high regard to a corps whose contribution to victory has been beyond all calculation.” The Royal Army Medical Corps was active during all engagements in the Second World War. From the defeat in Norway in 1940 to the hell of Dunkirk and the fall of France, from the chaos of the retreat through Greece and Crete to the war’s turning point in the vast deserts of North Africa, from the intensity of D-Day and the Normandy campaign to the reverses at Arnhem and the eventual liberation of the German death camps and Far East prison camps, RAMC personnel were frequently at the heart of the action, risking their lives to provide medical support to a mobile army in a highly mechanized war. For those taken prisoner by the enemy, maintaining the physical and psychological well-being of their fellow captives became an urgent necessity, while for a small number of exceptionally brave and hardy souls, attachment to commando units saw them provide medical support for some of the most daring raids of the war. Nearly 3,000 RAMC doctors and orderlies were killed during the war as a result of enemy action or exposure to dangerous tropical diseases. Using previously unpublished archival material and personal family papers, this book sheds fresh light on the experience of the regulars, volunteers and conscripts who gave expression to the motto of the RAMC: Faithful in Adversity.

The Medics of World War One by Kevin Hargreaves Pdf

'Medics' takes a look at the role men played in the care of the sick and wounded during World War One. There is a certain perception, and certainly if one looks at the so-called docudramas related to the injured servicemen during World War One, it would appear that men played no role in the sick and injured men's care. It would be very easy to get the impression that all the care was given by the Queen Alexandra's Imperial Military Nursing Service. This is not the case; the care of the sick and wounded actually started in no man's land where they were cared for by the regimental stretcher-bearers and the RAMC orderlies all the way down the line to the Casualty Clearing Stations and even in the General Hospitals. Throughout the text we follow the journey of the wounded from no man's land, down the evacuation chain to the general hospital in England and the colonies, and illustrate the role that the male caregivers undertook in the care of the wounded.
