What Every Sailor Should Know
During the Second World War, having men out of service as a result of venereal diseases, or the required medical treatment for them, was a source of great concern for Canadian military authorities. Men in uniform were encouraged to abstain from engaging in risky sexual relations or visit brothels while stationed abroad, and were issued informative (and cautioning) booklets on sexually-transmitted diseases.
