The Admiral, however, had some
good news. The Navy, he reports,
has cut the mortality rate among all
wounded personnel to less than two
and one-half percent This compares
with nearly eight percent in the
first World War.
The experience of the Navy dupli
cates that of the Army. The wound
ed, in this war, seldom die. This
speaks volumes for the work of the
doctors, nurses and sunreons who
serve our veterans, often at the risk
of their lives.
