"I see the fighting is still going on at various fronts".
"Yes, worrying isn't it all theses conflicts and men being killed, I mean is it all worth it"?
"Well, we've got to defend ourselves against all these aggressors, it's the poor rank and file troops I feel sorry for as if you get injured out there all you've got is some rough handed old sawbones to look after you! I hear they kill more of their own men than the enemy does"!
"Really.....gosh....if only they could have someone like that splendid Docteur De'Ath fellow to care for them, he'd do a great job that's for sure, they'd be in the best hands right enough. Trouble is they probably couldn't afford him, what with him being family docteur to all those rich and famous types, plus him being a Chevalier and Master Medical Practitioner an all that......bound to be pricey"!
"Pricey...ha...pah....haven't you heard the good Docteur - who we all know is really popular and a friend of the people - has just announced a new medical package for those soldiers of lower rank. It's a real bargain, I hear, apparently for just a one off payment of 50 livres any non Officer soldier can sign up and receive the guarantee of all future medical needs free"!
"Wow, that's amazing I think I might enlist just so I can get the benefits of that!! Three cheers for Docteur De'Ath.....hip hip...hooray....hip hip.....hooray...hip hip....HOORAY! Now lets finish these drinks and get down to the recruiting office pronto".
"Right, I'm with you all the way. They ought to make this Docteur De'Ath a Baron you know, he does so much for France and this latest initiative must surely result in a big surge of recruits to the Army"!
