Soldiers fighting in World War I had Rest Camps. In these camps, soldiers could rest and recover from their wounds and illnesses. Unfortunately, the rest camps were ineffective.
Most likey bullet wounds
More than 50% of the soldiers who died in the Civil War died of disease or complications from their wounds.
They probably died of gunshot wounds. As well as poor nutrition and malnurishment.
