A brutally honest first aid guide for soldiers, containing instructions about how to stop bleeding ("A man bleeds to death very quickly. Stop it with your hands. There is no time to wash. Put your fist into the wound..."), apply tourniquets and splints, carry a wounded comrade during battle, when and when not to give a wounded man a drink, treating gas exposure and phosporous burns, and above all to maintain "courage in the presence of a wounded man. First Aid can save a situation and save a friend."
