51st Highland Division
Monthly Sanitary Report for July, 1916
During July the Division has completed training of 60th Division, handed over its sector of the line North of Arras to that Division, marched to the Albert area and taken over part of the line in the area of active operations. No interval of rest has been given and in case of some the units the marches have been arduous. During the earlier part of the month the weather was cool and occasionally showery, more favourable for marching than the intense heat which has been experienced in the latter part.
This period of movement has given opportunity of judging of the state of sanitary discipline in formations. Temporary conservancy arrangements have had to be made in most of the billeting areas. In general, the standard of cleanliness during and after occupancy has been fair, but it is still considered but then closer supervision by e.g. company or platoon commanders together with strict disciplinary action were necessary, the level of cleanliness might be raised. The advice of the M.O. is always available on Sanitary matters, but it is the duty of the executive command to see that these are satisfactory. In the present area an attempt is being made whenever possible to provide a fairly permanent sanitary system by laying down deep latrines with effective covers of biscuit or ammunition boxes and incinerators. The difficulties are considerable and almost insuperable except in the rear area. Here, conditions are on the whole, satisfactory. Manure from horse lines is being burnt, the hot weather by rapidly drying the manure renders this possible. Effective burial arrangements have been made for the disposal of dead bodies of men and animals. It must be understood however that very extensive cleaning up would be necessary to bring the area into a similar condition to that of one where only trench warfare is being waged, but the material requiring removal consists to a great extent of sanitarily unobjectionable matter. Meantime efforts should be directed towards the prevention of all unnecessary fouling.
Rations are satisfactory and the difficulty of water supply has been effectively met.
The general sick rate considering the trying conditions has not been high, and the incident of infectious disease not above normal. Exact figures cannot be given at present in the absence of references. More supervision of men's feet would prevent a considerable amount of straggling and falling out on the march.
Divisional Baths are at MOULIN DE VIVIER and are available for and used by units not in the line. Clean under clothing is supplied and a Disinfectant is in use for blankets and clothing.

Gallantry Awards: Mentioned in Despatches This is the lowest form of recognition that was announced. The Mention in Despatches (M.I.D.) for a Soldier is not an award of a medal, but is a commendation of an act of gallantry or service. D G Adamson’s name would appear in the official report written by a Superior Officer and sent to the high command, in which is described the Soldier's gallant or meritorious action in the face of the enemy. This despatch is published in the London Gazette newspaper of the State, which has existed since 1665 and is still published today.
The phrase “Mentioned in Despatches” was used for the first time in a newspaper article by Winston Churchill on 6th October 1898. From the time of the Boer War, the Despatches were published in full or in part.
During World War One the citations published in the London Gazette did not usually give details of the place and date of the action for which awarded for security reasons. For most of these you need details from the War Office copy of the gazette. This can enable a search of the unit War Diary which will give a broader picture of the action for which D G Adamson was awarded the M.I.D. In general no recommendations for Mention in Despatches survive for the army during WW1.
A soldier could be mentioned in despatches more than once and in 1919 Army Order 166/1919 confirmed that individuals mentioned would receive a certificate, this included all British forces and Commonwealth Countries.
In 1920 the Army Order authorised the issue of an oak leafemblem decoration to be pinned or sewn diagonally on to the ‘Victory’ medal ribbon. If no campaign medal is awarded, the oak leaf is worn on the left breast of the dress uniform. This would signify that D G Adamson had been ‘Mentioned in Despatches’.

More information about Royal Army Medical Corps
Formed: 1898
The Royal Army Medical Corps (RAMC) is a specialist corps in the British Army which provides medical services to all British Army personnel and their families in war and in peace. Together with the Royal Army Veterinary Corps, the Royal Army Dental Corps and Queen Alexandra's Royal Army Nursing Corps, the RAMC forms the British Army's essential Army Medical Services.
The RAMC does not carry a Regimental Colour or Queen's Colour, although it has a Regimental Flag. Nor does it have battle honours, as elements of the corps have been present in almost every single war the army has fought. Because it is not a fighting arm, under the Geneva Conventions, members of the RAMC may only use their weapons for self-defence. For this reason, there are two traditions that the RAMC perform when on parade. Officers do not draw their swords - instead they hold their scabbard with their left hand while saluting with their right.
Other Ranks do not fix bayonets.
Unlike medical officers in some other countries, medical officers in the RAMC (and the Royal Navy and Royal Air Force) do not use the "Dr" prefix, in parentheses or otherwise, but only their rank, although they may be addressed informally as "Doctor".8 - Military Service*: The Royal Army Medical Corps Dr George David Walker Adamson MBE medical practitioner between 1939 and 1945 Royal Army Medical Corps during World War 2
