Extract

During the period from March 1st, 1918, to January 11th, 1919, the writer held the appointment of Mental Specialist to Boulogne Base, and was in charge of the mental wards for that area. These were located at No. 8 Stationary Hospital at Wimereux, and received all the mental cases developing in or brought to the Boulogne and Calais areas. In addition a number of cases were sent for report from the local standing medical board, and many cases were seen at other hospitals.
