Scope and content

Detailed report of casualties incurred during mine clearance operations in Holland [sic]. Discusses the types of injury sustained by men prodding for mines and men who trod on mines, breaks down injuries for different types of mine, and gives details of individual cases. Comments by the Chief Engineer's Branch suggest whole face cover for mine clearance is not worthwhile as facial wounds are usually slight and are accompanied by wounds on other parts of the body.
