To the Officers and men of the Medical Detachment. Our unarmed but untiring soldiers who have so well earned the admiration and respect of all with whom they have served and the undying gratitude of all whom they have treated, my sincere appreciation and congratulations and my best wishes to each for every success in the future.

The men herein worked at giving medical aid to their fellow men until they themselves gave their lives to help another. Their deed may not be recorded in formal history, but they will continue to live in the minds of those with whom they lived, whose wounds they healed, whose lives they saved. These men have earned the Kingdom Of Heaven.

This book is dedicated to the two men of this detachment who valiantly made the supreme sacrifice while serving their country. Their memory is commemorated by their undying devotion to duty. Their names will be put into history among the many others of the Medical Department, who gave their lives while trying to save the lives of their fellow men. With all due respect and condolences, this book is so dedicated.
