"Allenby's Military Medicine" examines a little-known feature of
World War I as it was fought in the Middle East - the contribution
made by the practice of military medicine to the success of
Egyptian Expeditionary Force. In stark contrast with operations in
the Boer War and some other First World War theatres of combat,
which Eran Dolev describes as "medical disasters", the Palestine
Campaign was marked by efficient and effective medical service.
Dolev describes how this great achievement was inspired by General
Allenby's uniquely attentive attitude towards the health of the
troops and to military medicine. This is especially seen in the
crucial area of fighting epidemic diseases like malaria, a major
threat to a healthy fighting force at the time. Dolev also
describes the general developments in military-medical organisation
and surgery on the battlefield during these campaigns. The author's
extensive and original research into military medicine is
incorporated into an account of the campaign itself, demonstrating
the degree to which the army's success depended on its medical
support. The story of military medicine during the Palestine
Campaigns is a story of exemplary relations between the command and
the doctors in the field. The challenges they faced and their
response constitute an exceptional chapter in the history of
military medicine during the Great War.
