True Frostbite is not uncommon in civilian life (1, 17), but among acclimated travellers and natives of arctic and subarctic regions, serious cases are rare (165). The greatest incidence of frostbite has occurred among armed forces during military campaigns. Napolèon' s surgeon, Baron Larrey (101) encountered huge numbers of cold injuries in French troops during the retreat from Moscow. Lewis (108) is of the opinion that these were trench foot injuries, while Arena (5) refers to themas examples of true frostbite. During both World wars non-freezing wet cold injuries predominated.
