Casualties

[Gerry Flaherty]

Are there any figures for medical staff, ie doctors, nurses, orderlies and stretcher bearers, who were killed or injured in the Great War?

Hi Gerry

If it is any help CWGC lists 7665 Royal Army Medical Corps deaths in ww1 https://www.cwgc.org/find/find-war-dead/results?regiment=Royal%2BArmy%2BMedical%2BCorps&war=1

That`s just what I wanted, David, Thanks for that -the question arose after reading true war experiences which included a doctors description of his life on the front.

You will need to search for nurses separately [QAIMNS etc]

Thanks again David,sadly the medical casualties do not seem to figure much in the majority of the Great War films.
