Excerpt from Wounds of the Thorax in War I was asked by the Editor of this series to write a short practical account of wounds of the thorax received in war for those who have begun the art of repairing wounds inflicted by their 'brethren'. At the present time, it is obviously useless and undesirable to attempt to introduce statistical results or other statements marking out special cases. I have therefore endeavoured to make the account the result of my own personal experience as well as of those with whom I have been brought into personal contact , and I must leave the statistics of these inquiries to be dealt with in full by others when the time has come to collate from many different sources the general results of injuries in the Great War, and these will no doubt show wide differences in various theatres. I desire to express my thanks to the Director-General of the Naval Medical Service for his permission to publish this short account. Also to Colonel Sir G. H. Makins for much help received from his writings and for his kind permission to make use of some of his illustrations, and to Professor Robinson for the same friendly courtesy.
