Summary/Abstract: In the paradigm of the famous assertion by Winston Churchill, quoted as “The farther back you can look, the fartherforward you are likely to see.”, I considered necessary, useful and relevant, a short synthetic analysis regarding the workingsof the sanitary service in medieval Romanian state armies. I judge that the errors, mistakes and the successes in the medicalfield, of the great battles and past military campaigns can serve as history lessons as well as life and practice lessons to thenew generations of military doctors.
