Scope and content

Security reasons had prevented publication of incident figures of crush. Douglas now supplies the following figures: mortuary dead - 599; dying in wards - 73; seriously injured hospital cases - 312; slightly injured hospital cases - 396.

Douglas hoped to produce a more detailed and scientific article on the incidence of different types of injury in air raid casualties going to hospital.
