Army Regulations followed during medical inspection of recruits at Enl

[MJROB]

Hi All,

Does anyone have any references/information on what official medical regulations recruitment staff followed during enlistment when inspecting potential recruits at the start of the war?

I'm interested in the general study of medical inspections such as height, weight, teeth, hearing, hernias etc.

Any information on this would be warmly welcomed.

Regards,
Michael

I have seen the following

Chest measurement

Chest measurement expanded

Height

Weight

Scars

Tattoos

Age [not necessarily checked]

I think they were on enlistment forms.

Hardly a medical as such.

Hi, thanks for your response.

On official attestation/enlistment forms there is a line stating: I have examined the above named recruit and find that he does not present any of the causes of rejection in the Regulations for Army Medical Services'.

It is these 'Regulations for Army Medical Services that I am specifically interest in.
