Monday 14th
Lecture by Capt. Harrison on :"Organisation of a Dressing Station". He laid stress on several the following points,
(1) That it is not the duty of a Field Ambulance to cater for the individual but the Army therefore if he came to two men one of whom was severely wounded & likely to die and another who was slightly wounded, he would not spend much time on former since the latter is of more use to the Army.
Afternoon. The time was spent very interesting – in erecting a Dressing Station complete. During the day it was showery & sloppy and must be very uncomfortable in winter here.
