Curious isn't it how the Japanese who seem to us so profligate with the lives of their soldiers, actually took far more trouble far earlier to prevent illness due to unsanitary water supplies.
While the British Army and authorities, whom we tend to see as much more concerned with the preservation of the lives of servicemen, were actually far more profligate in the sense of losses due to illness and disease.
There is a logic to it though: sick or dead soldiers are very expensive or quite useless, whereas healthy soldiers have some chance to fulfill the military objectives, even if they are "human bullets" as in the Russo-Japanese War.
