Medical Work During the Advance
Most of the casualties occurred in the early stages of the offensive. As the enemy became beaten and bewildered the opposition slackened considerably, and the advance tended to become more of a mopping-up operation. During the advance very many German wounded were captured, and ADMS 2 NZ Division obtained the release of prisoner-of-war medical officers and staff and established German hospitals, which later became a Corps' responsibility.
