Perform Miracles in
the Desert Dust
(By Paul Chadburn)
Desert weariness, a disease with a
local habitation and expressive
haute, sometimes appears itt the tent
"surgeries" of British army doctors.
in northern Africa. This is a sort of
nervous trouble that starts with some
overstrain, perhaps in battle, and
cumulatively reaches breaking -point
under desert conditions.
But the desert doctor's cases, when
till is comparatively quiet on the
batlefront, are maluly cuts, sprains,
rheumatism, Jaundice, dysentery and
malaria. Taken by and large, prob-
ebly few doctors in the healthiest
parts of England have fewer serious
cases of disease to deal with. The
,M.O. of the camp front which this is
written has to look after the health
and hygiene of some 1,200 men. Of
these, on an average only thirty a
clay come to his tent, and most of
these have minor injuries. Whatever
• they have wrong with then, at least
they do not suffer from the effects of
city smoke, airless offices, sitting on
stools or working in factories all day.
Remedies from Optimistic Nazis
The desert M.O.'s medical chest,
erten meagerly equipped at the begin-
ning of the last campaign, grew heav-
ier in the course of it. The Afrika
Korps—a valetudinarian body, judg-
ing by its strange assortment of
drugs, injections, salves and appli-
ances—furnished a welcome, if not
always serviceable, addition. There
are now in many an M.O.'s tent spec-
ial anti -snake and scorpion bite ser-
ums, quantities .of foot powder, drugs'
that combat the dysentery bacillus,
and — of less use In the desert, since
the diseases are not known here —
medicines for cholera and black
fever. Signs, perhaps; of Hitler's op-
timistic calculations of African con-
quest.
The desert M.O. Is responsible for
the hygiene of his area, so he travels
with "reccy" parties when a new
campsite is being found, and makes
sure the position is not malarial, or
infected by refuse left behind by the
enemy. -
When the camp is established, he
has the vital job ofseeingthat no
epidemic breaks out. He must exam-
ine the latrines to see that all poss-
ible precautions have been taken to
keep out the dysentery -carrying fly,
and inspect cook houses to see that
swill is • proprely disposed of. He also
trains First Aid parties.
When the battle is on, the doctors
of the field ambulances and casualty
clearing stations are in the thick of
it. In no previous war and perhaps on
no other front in this one, has the
Army- Medical Corps worked in such
conditions as it has done in these
recent desert battles.
A field ambulance at Sidi Rezegh
found itself camped out, operating
and tending the wounded with no
troops between it and the enemy.
Another that was captured and given
German and Italian casualties to look
after, became at one time the actual
battleground of an encounter 'be-
tween armored columns. Tanks, firing

arlously, threaded between the Crows
of wounded. The German tank cora.
mender was soon on the operating
table with au anti-tank bullet through
his cvhest. His second -in -command,
who carte up to inquire how he was
getting on, was told that nothing
could be done while the operating
theater — a converted thre-tonner —
was the pivot of the battle, Where-
upon tate Mark IV's sheered off.
The battle ebbed and flowed round
this unit—men fighting each other
and patching each other up. German
guards accompanied the British doct-
or on their rounds.
Once, one of these guards went out
for it smoke. Immediately afterwards
in walked a battle -stained soldier, a
British officer. "What camps this?"
he asked.
"You'd better beat it," he was told
by the M.O. "It's German." Exit the
officer and re-enter immediately the
guard. Next day the Germans re-
treated and had to leave the unit
behind, which somehow found itself
guarding its -guards, and considered
itself to be released. This time it was
a German officer who drove into the
camp in an armored car one night.
"I'll be seeing you," she remarked in
English when they told him of the
German withdrawal. But he was
Wrong.
So it goes on. Anywhere, 011 either
side, at all hours of the day and
night, the desert M.O. gets on with
his Job, and with him work his order-
lies, the regimental stretcher-bearers,
the drivers of motor ambulance
convoys.
They Even Have a Motto
Then there are the doctors of the
desert hospitals, of one desert hospi-
tal in particular—the one at Tobruk.
It is split up into several sections,
but whether the doctors nad staff
work in the bomb -shattered convert-
ed Italian barracks in the town, on
the beach or dockside, or in- the rock
caves, they live up to the motto
chalked up on the wall of the hoepi-.
tal reception room: "Our aim is
service with a smile."
Agnes—"How did you stop your
husband from staying out late at
his club?"
Jane—"When he came in late I
called nn a nice, sweet voice, 'Is that
you Jack?" and niy husband's name
is Tom."
