Larrey
, and development of modern casualty handling system
“Medical personnel staffed the aid stations close to the lines. After the ambulance corps brought casualties to these collection points, those wounded requiring further treatment were sent along predesignated routes to the general hospitals farther to the rear. Everything in the modern casualty evacuation systems was included in Larrey’s organization, and he may be genuinely credited with creating the first modern casualty handling system in the West (Gabriel, 145).
