Just saw a new book regarding combat medical treatment during the 1914-1918. I think it was Osprey - in any case it was list On Military Matters, a great vendor for all things military. The situation was horrible in 1914 and got better as the war progressed. Sort of perverse, but, by 1917 they were doing a lot more things to help the wounded soldier survive, including blood typing, restoration, and better antibiotics. Also, the addition of forward field hospitals (the MASH of the day) rather than the 1914 practice that took days to get a wounded soldier to care. They often didn't survive the trip, even with a relatively minor wound. I plan to include this book on my next order with them. They also provide Wargame Magazine and Wargame Modeler as well as several other British magazines for gamers. Do check out their site.

Medical care in the All Quiet world would probably be a bit different than in WWI. Few, if any, bullet wounds. Fewer shrapnel wounds, but far more burns. The fight against shock and infection would be about the same, though.

Oh, I agree. We're fighting Martians after all. Such a reference would include burns to a small degree and, importantly, gas attack treatments - such as they had any. You've cooled my ardor about getting this book right away. Money better spent on Man-At-Arms, Vehicle, Ship, and Weapons books! Ouch, my bank account ($$$!).
