Abstract
IN August, 1914, chemists, in common with other professional men, volunteered in considerable numbers for active service with the fighting forces. Many were already attached to the Officers Training Corps of their universities, or to Territorial unitsthe call was the same to them as to others. The need for fit men was the first consideration, and the need for chemists, as such, in other spheres directly connected with war was not at first recognised. Offers to the War Office of scientific assistance emanating from organised bodies and from individuals were politely acknowledged and pigeon-holed for future reference in case of necessity.
