MEDICAL MANCEUYRES, 1913.

An Aldershot Oommand tactical exercise, arranged for tha training of Royal Army Medical Oorps units in combination with the fighting troops, was carried out from August 6 to 9, under the direction of Lieutenant·General Sir Douglas Haig, K.O.B., K.O.I.E., K.O.V.O.

On August 4 the R.A.M.O: personnel required to form the complete medical service of one division, one clearing hospital,. one ambulance train, with officers to act as medical service nmpires, assembled at Aldershot. The total strength amounted to 66 officers, 4 warrant officers, 49 staff-serjeants and serjeants, 10 buglers, and 642 rank and file.

On August 6 the 1st Division, augmented by one regiment of cavalry and with its medical units and regimental medical establishments at war strength, marched from Aldershot to Godalmipg and, 'on arrival there, represented the general advanced guard of a northern (Brown) force, moving south via Weybridge, Ripley, Guildford and Godalming on Midhurst against a southern (White) force which had concentrated in the Meon Valley and pushed forward a covering detachment to Petersfield.

On the evening of August 6 information reached Brown headquarters that the White ,detachment at Petersfield, estimated at from one to two infantry brigades with some cavalry and artillery attached, had marched that day for Thursley and the G.O.O. Brown general advanced guard was directed to advance on August 7 so as to defeat the White. detachment and, having driven it westward, to occupy Hindhead on the night of August 7/8.

Railhead for the troops of the general advanced guard was considered to be at Woking.

71

The railway from Woking to Aldershot was considered to be the railway from railhead to the advanced base.

The clearing hospital, which moved on August 5 from Aldershot to Broadwater Park, one mile north of Godalming, was considered to be at W oking, and was not allowed to come into action until 2 p.m. on August 7, by which time it could have reached Broadwater Park, after being ordered forward from railhead in the ordinary course.

Operations began at 8 a.m. on August 7. Fighting was continuous. The Brown troops captured Thursley and when darkness set in bivouaced behind a line of outposts extending, roughly, from the eastern boundary of EIstead Oommon to Hindhead.

Picquets of the opposing forces were in contact during the night and soon after 5 a.m. on August 7 general hostilities were resumed. During the early hours of the morning a thick mist rendered movement difficult. Brown captured KettleburyHill, and about 11.30 ·a.m. when White had retreated to the western part of Frencham Oommon the operations of the fighting troops ceased.

The casualties, estimated as wounded, to be dealt with by the medical service, and represented by officers and other ranks of the Brown troops, who had wound tallies fixed on them by umpires during suitable phases of the fight, numbered 450 up to the evening of the 7th, and 280 on the 8th, total 730. Most of the walking cases, wounded on the 7th, reached the clearing hospital that evening, but as the motor lorries of the supply column did not start on the return journey.from the refilling point until about 9.30 p.m., about 105 of the sitting and lying-down cases loaded on them at the field ambulance bivouacs were carried direct to Woking station, where they arrived at 12.10 a.m. on August 8. The off-loading of the lorries and loading of the ambulance train was admirably organized and carried out, and the train started for Aldershot at 12.40 a.m. .

The ambulance train made a second journey to Aldershot on the afternoon of the 8th, carrying wounded who had been despatched by motor lorries via the.clearing hospital. The train was.made up of the ambulance coaches used to convey invalids to Netley and three goods vans fitted with various apparatus for supporting stretchers.

Buildings in the villages of Elstead, Milford, Witley and Brook were taken np for the exercise and utilized for dressing stations, &c.

Sir Spencer Ewart, Adjutant-General, Sir Launcelotte Gubbins, and Surgeon-General W. Babtie watched the operations on August 7 and 8.

The Directing Staff. and troops taking part were as follows:-

ROYAL ARMY MEDICAL COLLEGE. EXAMINATION FOR OOMMISSION IN THE ROYAL ARMY MEDICAL OORPS.

Medicine.-Oase for Commentary. Wednesday, July 23, 1913. Commencing 10 a.m. (Time allowed 1~ hours.) Read your instructions.

The manager of a grocery store, aged 30, was admitted to hospital on November 30, 1911, complaining of progressive weakness, enlargement of the abdomen and shortness of breath.

80

He had always been a healthy man until July, 1910, when he was on holiday at Kelso, and for the first time experienced severe pain in the abdomen aHer food on several successive days. It,was called indigestion by the doctor whom he consulted, and disappeared quickly on treatment and did not recur. In July, 1911, he found that he was losing weight and this has steadily continued. In September his friends noticed that his complexion was deteriorating and that his skin was becoming yellow. In October his abdomen began to enlarge and he was soon forced to take to bed. For the fortnight before admission it had.been very tense and uncomfortable, and he had become very short of breath. ,

He was a poorly developed man with small muscles, and little subcutaneous fat. He, lay easily in bed .in a semi-recumbent position. His skin and sclerotics were slightly jaundiced; the urine and the stools both contained bile. The. feet and ankles were slightly cedematous. The abdomen was greatly distended and very tense, the skin being stretched and glazed, and the umbilicus protruded forming a tumour almost as large as a tangarine orange. There was evidently much free fluid in the peritoneal cavity. The diaphragm was displaced upwards and the respirations

'were mainly thoracic. Paracentesis on December 1 gave him much relief. The fluid contained bile, and blood in small amount. The specific gravity was 1'020 and it contained much albumen (Esbach 3'5) but no sugar. The centrifuged deposit was scanty and evidently contained red cells. Films showed that the cells which were well preserved were mainly lymphocy£es, although a few polymorphoneutrophile cells and endothelial plaques were also present. Two hundred and thirty ounces were removed at the first ,tapping and 145 ounces at the se'cond, three days later. The liver was now found to be greatly enlarged, the edge and surface being smooth. The spleen, too, seemed to be enlarged. "

In the next fortnight the patient's condition began to improve and the jaundice lessened; but there was still much fluid in the abdoinen 'and 250 ounces were removed on December 19. Improvement continued and he left hospital on January 19, 1912. The liver now seemed smaller, but both the edge and the surface were irregular from the presence of nodules which seemed as large as half a walnut. The jaundice and ascites still persisted but in lessened degree. '

In. March, 1912, he was able to resume his work and when seen in June looked much better in every way. The jaundice still persisted but was slight. The ascites had disappeared. The liver 'and the nodules were certainly smaller. In February, 1913, he was well and strong and at work. The skin was merely swarthy in colour, the stools were normal, and the urine was free from bile. The liver was smaller than it had been, and the nodules had disappeared, being apparently replaced by palpable depressions on the surface.

Discuss the differential diagnosis at the time of admission to hospital. State the measures that you would adopt in order to arrive at an accurate diagnosis, and suggest a suitable line of treatment.

Surgery.-Case for Commentary. Wednesday, July 23, 1913. Commencing 11.40 a.m. (Time allowed, III hours.) Read your instructions.

A boy, aged 19, was admitted' into hospital complaining that his right knee had suddenly bent under him, and had become locked whilst he was in the act of turning round quickly. He had previously wrenched the joint on two or three occasions whilst playing football .. The joint became locked in September, 1912, and remained bent and immovable until it was reduced under an amesthetic three days later. A similar accident happened in November, 1912, and an amesthetic was again required, whilst in the following June chlqroform had to be given again to release a third attack. Flexion of the joint, as in kneeling, led to immediate and painful fixation. Examina­tion revealed a tender spot on the inner side of the knee over the head of the tibia, and the joint was in a state of subacute synovitis.

Discuss the probal>le nature of the injury. Describe the immediate and remote treatment to be adopted, and state what would be found if the joint were opened.
