    Abstract:
    The Boer War acted as a catalyst for military reform, including reform of the Army Medical Services (AMS). The subsequent medical debate was centred on the value of sanitation as a provision for war. This article looks at the forces, political, military and economic, that propelled the provision of sanitation to a prominent position in the reforms of the army, and the effect this had on the status and role of the Royal Army Medical Corps (RAMC).
