Especially interesting are the increasing percentages of A and B grades inside regimental 

 organizations of infantry and artillery as one passes from supply company through ordinary 

 letter company or battery, machine-gun company or trench mortar battery, to headquarters 

 company. In the medical department also similar expected increases appear as one passes 

 from medical detachment through ambulance company and field hospital to the base hospital. 

 The lower percentage of A and B grades in the overseas base hospital is unexpected. It may 

 well be due partially to the fact that there were relatively poorer groups of men to pick from 

 in the camps where the majority of the overseas base hospitals which were selected were made 

 up. It may also be partially due to other factors governing the selection of men for overseas 

 at those camps.
