(2) |
Medical and combatant officers lectured to their troops. |
(3) |
Medical officers of the Division received sound instruction on the diagnosis, clinical features, and treatment of malaria, and certain selected officers attended courses of special laboratory training. |

A pamphlet containing advice on malaria precautions was given to every officer. |
