Abstract: As soldiers, we are always liable to make sudden journey's abroad. As citizens, like our fellows, more and more of us take our holidays outside the United Kingdom (U.K.) Whether on duty or on holiday, we are all subject to the health hazards inherent in travel and living overseas. At this time of year the' silly season' is almost on us and it seemed to me that on the basis of "a stitch in time ." .. " a few words of advice, borne of some years of Service life, might be helpful. In broad terms, the scourges that afflict the unwary fall into three main groups:- a. Digestive disorders. b. Bloodsucking insects. c. Contact diseases. So I have dealt with them in that order, finishing with a few tips on medical treatment abroad.
