The Australian Army Medical Corps in Egypt / An Illustrated and Detailed Account of the Early Organisation and Work of the Australian Medical Units in Egypt in 1914-1915

The text provides a detailed, illustrated account of how Australian medical units were raised and deployed to Egypt at the outbreak of war, covering voyage and initial settlement, the conversion of civilian buildings into hospitals, and rapid expansion of bed capacity to cope with wartime casualties. It examines camp hygiene, patterns of sickness and mortality, management of infectious and venereal diseases, evacuation and convalescent systems, and the contributions and limitations of voluntary aid organisations. Final chapters propose organisational and medical reforms and include translations of relevant international conventions and practical appendices.
