title: A case of frostbite or "it takes more than two pairs of socks to keep your feet warm".
abstract: During February 1985 a squadron of an engineer regiment deployed into the field to exercise its men in basic infantry skills. One of these men was a 20 year old sapper. During the exercise he sustained frostbite injury to both feet, the right foot being more affected than the left. The background, clinical progress and preventive medicine implications are discussed.
