mancpal Posted 13 January , 2018 Share Posted 13 January , 2018 Could somebody advise me if there are any stats regarding troops affected by dysentery and where I could find them please. simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seaJane Posted 13 January , 2018 Share Posted 13 January , 2018 The Official History of the Great War - Medical Series is online at archive.org. I cannot recall whether there is a Statistics volume but the stats are probably in the Diseases volume (cannot recall if there are 1 or 2). Apologies for accidental strikethrough!

Clear Bell Posted 11 February , 2018 Share Posted 11 February , 2018 Hi Mancpaul Apart from looking at printed sources, when you have time you might like to look at divisional war diaries for the Assistant Director Medical Services. The particular one I have been looking at was for 2 Division in 1916, downloaded from the TNA - £3.50 per item. It goes into considerable detail about the conditions being treated.

MaureenE Posted 13 February , 2018 Share Posted 13 February , 2018 There is probably something in the online book History of the Great War Based on Official Documents: Medical Services: Casualties and Medical Statistics of the Great War by Major T. J. Mitchell and Miss G. M. Smith. 1931 Hathi Trust Digital Library Cheers Maureen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TEW Posted 26 February , 2018 Share Posted 26 February , 2018 Simon, Not exactly statistics but I've extracted some dysentry information from DMS 4th Army diary. I also noticed a small number of sheets (not included) giving Admissions of infectious diseases but I doubt there were more than 6 men with suspected dysentry or dysentry (Shigs).
