Scope and content
Copies of SZ's casualty survey would be forwarded to the Air-Raid Casualties Committee.
SZ mentions the expense of Dr Arthur Davies' services in post-mortem examinations. SZ suggests that the OEMU share the expenses with the MRC. Davies suggests that x-ray pictures be taken of casualties on the spot. This would apply in cases where there is little external injury but that suspected internal fractures and wounds are due to bomb splinters. SZ asks Herrald to convey this suggestion to the Air-Raid Casualties Committee. SZ would approach Barclay, Consultant Radiologist to the EMS, and see if the radiologists could assist.
