From The Indianapolis News, Saturday, October 9, 1915: Dr. R. L. Rockwell, on furlough from the American Red Cross Hospital in France, talked about the war and his work as assistant surgeon at the Yvelot hospital, near Rouen, which is some distance from the firing line. Dr. Rockwell said, “The French feeling is that the war will continue indefinitely — as long as there are men, guns, credit, and the Germans are not beaten. A very large percentage of the men we get are shot in the limbs and through the lower parts of their bodies. Those hit by machine gun bullets are more severely injured than men shot by riffle bullets; but the terrible cases are those produced by shrapnel. All the stuff that is being fired is so clean, we have had practically no serious blood poisoning or gangrene.”
