Description: | Ms notes (4pp), probably taken in 1914 by Gerard Selby at a Guy's Hospital lecture on the reception and treatment of casualties by a Royal Army Medical Corps (RAMC) officer on active service. The notes describe the duties to be performed by a Medical Officer in the front line, at the Regimental Aid Post, with the Field Ambulance, at the Dressing Station and at base; under the section headed "1st Trenches", Selby has written, "Only in trenches in special circumstances. Take as few risks as possible." Lieutenant Selby was killed on active service in September 1916 while attached to the 9th Battalion Lancashire Fusiliers.
