BLOOD TRANSFUSION IN BATTLE
Sir,—M. A. McLachlan is pleased to try to make political capital out of Brigadier Ardagh’s transfusion technique. Fortunately for us, Russia has been preparing her army since the last war. There must be innumerable ways in which we could learn from her. We have had to improvise everything since the war started. In the interval between the two wars the Socialist parties in the Empire neglected defence measures just as much or even more than the other parties. A Socialist Government sank a large part of the British Navy. Most of us are very proud of the way in which our boys and doctors and nurses have done their duty during this war, and recognise the difficulty of improvising an efficient army and medical service for desert conditions. Mr Churchill was in a minority of one in the House of Commons, so we should be wise to save our breath for beating the enemy and not for attacking each other.—Yours, etc., LESLIE B. BURNETT.
