Clinical Notes & Temperature Charts, East Africa.

£250 · Offered by Maggs Bros Ltd

Fascinating medical notes and charts maintained by Captain Madge while serving in East Africa at the end of WWI and the years immediately following. Relating to East Africa, there are extensive charts and tables in MS, plotting the progress of individuals’ fevers, detailing their symptoms, histories, and the suggested treatments. One particularly moving set of graphs showing the increasingly rapid rise of temperatures, some even going beyond the scale - 105 - only for the lines to end with “DIED”. Also contains, relative to WWII, two letters to the by then, Major Madge, M.O. 10th Derby’s H.G. and two printed Extracts from Army Training memoranda Nos, 47 and 48, issued for Information of all Officers of the Home Guard.
