| Content: | This is an Allied Translator and Interpreter Section (ATIS) research report on the Japanese Dental Corps. It contains information on the organisation, training, duties, numbers assigned to hospitals (Line of Communication and Field), numbers assigned to regiments and battalions and the conditions for dentists in Japan. The report also contains extracts from prisoner interrogation files. ATIS researchers concluded that in 1942 the Japanese Army changed from the use of civilian dentists to an organised Dental Corps. Evidence suggested that dental equipment and treatment in the field was inferior to that offered by the Allies. |
