Occasional Notes. Index. Cover has some wear and soiling. Ink notation at bottom of front cover. This publication supersedes A Field Surgery Pocket Book published in Jan. 1944--W. O. Code No. 12. The first edition of this pocket book was published in January 1944. It has become apparent that something of this kind was necessary if the lessons learned as the result of widening experience in the treatment of war injuries were to be disseminated throughout the Army. It has also become obvious that certain amendments were now required. In so far as advances in therapy can be said to have become established practice, they have been incorporated in the text. Contributions have been made by surgical consultants, advisers, specialists, and others, all writing from experience in the field. The evolution of weapons of destruction has proceeded apace and worse may be yet to come, but the same surgical problem has been repeated in every war and is likely to be the same in the next--the missile which on impact and on its onward journey bears devitalization and infections to whatever tissues may impede its passage.

Martin Gumpert (13 November 1897 – 18 April 1955) was a German-born physician, dermatologist, historian, and author. Born in Berlin, Gumpert specialized in dermatology and medical history. His early life included service as a medical orderly during WI and academic pursuits in Berlin and Heidelberg, culminating in a dissertation on syphilis in 1923. Gumpert also engaged in expressionist poetry and literature. He went on to write texts on pediatrics and developmental deformity. In 1933 Gumpert was forced out of his medical position by the Nazi rise to power. Over the next few years he wrote several texts of literature and the history of science and medicine. He was further excluded from the association of German writers, the Reichsverband deutscher Schriftsteller as a Jew in 1935 and emigrated to the United States in 1936. Gumpert opened a dermatology practice in New York in 1936 and became a US citizen in 1942.[ During these years Gumpert became a friend of the siblings Erika and Klaus Mann and in 1949 visited their father Thomas Mann in Germany. Thomas Mann used Gumpert's medical knowledge on the course of syphilis in writing his novel Doktor Faustus. From 1952 Gumpert edited the gerontology journal Lifetime Living and worked as a geriatrician at the Jewish Memorial Hospital, New York. Gumpert continued to write about the exile experience in poems and literary publications. More
