OFFICIAL HISTORY OF THE SECOND WORLD WAR. MEDICAL SERVICES Casualties and Medical Statistics

The most detailed, comprehensive study and statistical analysis of British battle and non-battle casualties on all fronts during the Second World.

This, the final volume of the United Kingdom Official Medical History of the Second World War, presents an account of the diseases, injuries and deaths sustained by Her Majesty’s Armed Forces during the war, together with an analysis of service and casualties treated in hospitals in the United Kingdom.

The Royal Navy, Army, Royal Air Force and Civilian Emergency Medical Services are considered separately. Together, they provide a striking picture of the formidable tasks that confronted the Medical Services, both overseas and in the islands where, for the first time, the civilian population was subjected to sustained air attack and the stresses and hazards of total warfare.
