Allied armies is daily increasing
the demand for blood plasma.
Letters are being received telling
of transfusions being given to the
wounded right on the battlefield
in France and Italy. Thousands
of our wounded men are being•
brought back to England by -air-
plane which .means a greatly in-
creased demand on our supply.
In ten days in Italy alone a full
week's supply from Canada' was
used.
One of the greatest accomplish-
ments on the opening day of the
invasionwas the dropping of
blood serum by parachute to the
