I read at one time that during WW1,farmers in Australia who harvested 'tea tree oil' were exempt from conscription because of the liquid's curative powers and it was in demand by the Medical Corps. That's one area to research for you.

You could also point out that death itself brought relief for the suffering cannon fodder.
