War Story of the Canadian Army Medical Corps, Vol. 1 (Classic Reprint) by J. George Adami Pdf

Excerpt from War Story of the Canadian Army Medical Corps, Vol. 1 Such was the spirit of the Canadians in the battle line as I have seen and known them. One could not return from such a visit without renewed courage and strengthened determination. From the wounded in the hospitals one gained at least an equal inspiration in witnessing many a triumph of the Spirit over the dull pain and monotony of long, weary months. Let the Nation also give its tribute to those who consecrated their service to the care of the wounded to the men who went forward through the battle storm with bullet-spattered ambulances to rescue those who had fallen to the women whose first thought was of the helpless and suffering, when hospitals were bombed. It is fitting that the story of the Canadian Army Medical Service should be told; and no one is more qualified for that purpose, whether by experience, by service, or by the truest ideal of duty, than he who has written the pages that follow.

Politics and the Canadian Army Medical Corps by Herbert A. Bruce Pdf

Excerpt from Politics and the Canadian Army Medical Corps: A History of Intrigue The medical service of any army is so vitally connected with the efficiency of that army, its responsibilities are so intimately related to the wel fare of the common soldiers, that its methods and organization are second in importance only to the conduct of officers and troops in the field of battle. Lf its administration has been marked by blunders, whether well-meaning or perverse, it is necessary and just that after the smoke of battle has cleared away, and the public morale can no longer be detrimentally affected, the facts should be made known. It was inevitable, in view of all the circumstances, that the Canadian Army Medical Service should come under review so soon as demobilization, especially of higher officers with a close knowledge of our organization overseas, was well under way. It is all the more important, therefore, that Colonel Herbert A. Bruce, M.D., the protagonist of the controversy with regard to the Canadian Army Medical Service, should lay all the facts before the public, and tell his own story, supported by documentary evidence, in a manner so clear that no politician can obscure the facts.

Sister Soldiers of the Great War by Cynthia Toman Pdf

In Sister Soldiers of the Great War, award-winning author Cynthia Toman recovers the long-lost history of Canada’s first women soldiers – nursing sisters who enlisted as officers with the Canadian Army Medical Corps. The nursing sisters had a mandate to salvage as many sick and wounded men as possible for return to the front lines. Nothing prepared them, however, for the poor living conditions, the scale of the casualties, or the type of wounds they encountered. But their letters and diaries reveal that they were determined to soldier on under all circumstances while still “living as well as possible.”

Lifesavers and Body Snatchers by Tim Cook Pdf

*FINALIST FOR THE 2023 OTTAWA BOOK AWARD* *SHORTLISTED FOR THE 2022 TEMPLER MEDAL FOR BEST BOOK* From Canada’s top war historian, a definitive medical history of the Great War, illuminating how the carnage of modern battle gave birth to revolutionary life-saving innovations. It brings to light shocking revelations of the ways the brutality of combat and the necessity of agonizing battlefield decisions led to unimaginable strain for men and women of medicine who fought to save the lives of soldiers. Medical care in almost all armies during the Great War, and especially in the Canadian medical services, was sophisticated and constantly evolving. Vastly more wounded soldiers were saved than lost. Doctors and surgeons prevented disease from decimating armies, confronted ghastly wounds from chemical weap-ons, remade shattered bodies, and struggled to ease soldiers’ battle-haunted minds. After the war, the hard lessons learned by doctors and nurses were brought back to Canada. A new Department of Health created guidelines in the aftermath of the 1918–1919 influ-enza pandemic, which had killed 55,000 Canadians and millions around the world. In a grim irony, the fight to improve civilian health was furthered by the most destructive war up to that point in human history. But medical advances were not the only thing brought back from Europe: Lifesavers and Body Snatchers exposes the disturbing story of the harvesting of human body parts in medical units behind the lines. Tim Cook has spent over a decade investigating the history of Canadian medical doctors removing the body parts of slain soldiers and transporting their brains, lungs, bones, and other organs to the Royal College of Surgeons (RCS) in London, England. Almost 800 individual body parts were removed from the dead and sent to London, where they were stored, treated, and presented in exhibition galleries. After being exhibited there, the body parts were displayed in Canada. This uncovered history has never been told before and is part of the hidden legacy of the medical war. Based on deep archival research and unpublished letters of soldiers and medical personnel, Lifesavers and Body Snatchers is a powerful narrative, told in Cook’s literary style, which reveals how the medical services supported the soldiers at the front and forged a profound legacy in shaping Canadian public health in the decades that followed.
