are being distributed to every one in the Section.

Medical Officers and Orderlies have been in attendance at

every Camp to look after Camp hygiene and the health of the Troops.

Some very important and useful work was done before the

Autumn Camps by Sergeant Debb who made a malarial survoy of the

country for one mile round the Camp. Mosquitoe breeding grounds wore abolished by drainage and paraffin and us result, the incidence of mosquitoes in the Camp was less than it has ever been before.

Medical Officers attended all the battery Shoots.

the evacuation of the wounded.
