Ron Clifton Posted 11 May , 2019 Share Posted 11 May , 2019 The following is from the Wikipedia article on hepatitis: "Given the poor sanitary conditions of war, infectious jaundice played a large role as a major cause of mortality among troops in the Napoleonic Wars, the American Revolutionary War, and both World Wars."

Ron Clifton Posted 11 May , 2019 Share Posted 11 May , 2019 There is a special volume in the British Medical Official History series, Casualties and Medical Statistics, which has the following: France 1914 (Aug-Nov) 94 1915 1492 1916 181 1917 944 1918 1269 Italy (Nov 17-Dec 18) 599 Salonika (Nov 15-16) 380 1917 320 1918 1416 Gallipoli 8030 Figures for other theatres are not given but those for Egypt & Palestine seem to have been negligible. I suspect that figures for Mesopotamia might have been fairly heavy, given the relatively poor sanitation in that theatre. The death rate in France was about 1%. There is another volume of the Medical OH, Diseases of the War. I don't have a copy but it may be worth hunting one down. Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sick of the 9th Leicestershires fed back through the chain would have had a designated 'sick' CCS or possibly an 'Infectious' CCS. Extracted these search hits from Medical Services OH VOL I; Diseases and Vol ? Pathology. TEW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
