A
Bibliography of Great War Medicine
This
list comprises books relating to, or including, medical work in the First World
War, together with a number of general books which set the scene. Its origin lies in the construction of a
bibliography for a book on facial injury in the Great War, and the development
of a library relating to medical services of that time to accompany the Gillies
Archives at Queen Mary's Hospital, Sidcup. The library has now been transferred
to the Brotherton Library, University of Leeds (where it may be searched as the
Bamji Collection) but I am continuing to maintain the online bibliography.
The
annotations are personal comments.
I
would be grateful for notification of any significant omissions; in addition,
details are sometimes sketchy for works taken from other bibliographies and
amendments would be welcome. Updates are
posted regularly.
The
Gillies Archive contained a number of contemporary papers on facial injury,
many written by members of staff of the Queen’s Hospital. These are not included in this bibliography;
with a few important exceptions, material that might be considered a pamphlet
rather than a book has also been excluded.
Jean-Luc
Dupire of Brussels has been most helpful in supplying continental titles. In particular he offered the Archives a large
selection of doctoral theses in French, many from the same collection. As these are not strictly books (but neither
are they journals) I have included them as a separate section together with
some German equivalents.
In
early 2002 I was contacted by Gary Mitchell of Rochester, NY, who has made a
special study (and collection) of items relating to medical services from the
USA. Rather than paste them into the
main bibliography I have kept the entire section separate and there is
therefore some duplication. A few of the
entries would not qualify under my ground rules for inclusion, but are
sufficiently comprehensive or important to be retained. Many have no listed author and, as
researchers may well wish to search for units by number, I have retained Gary’s
broad arrangement. The comments in this
section are his.
Some
books have been digitised; for some American books see this link, but a search
using Google Books may turn up many more.

wars. His Great War experience (in
Egypt, France and England, where he was at the 1st NZ General
Hospital at Brockenhurst in the New Forest), is detailed in chapters 7-13. He records that Pickerill’s jaw unit, based
at No 2 Hospital, Walton-on-Thames, was visited by the Queen who suggested “…it
would be better in every way if his staff and patients were transferred to the
Queen's Hospital for Facial Injuries at Sidcup, where the famous plastic
surgeon Sir Harold Gillies, also a New Zealander, was in charge. I am afraid that neither the dental surgeon
nor the patients were keen on such a move and consequently nothing was done
about it. When Her Majesty visited the
hospital some weeks later, she found the ‘jaw section’ still there, and
expressed her surprise that it had not been moved. A week later an instruction came from the War
Office…”

Brassine V. Ma Campagne de Russie avec le Corps
Expeditionnaire Belge des autos-canons-mitrailleuses. in Namur, Belgium,
privately printed, n.d. (1957 or 1958)
A scarce memoir of a
military doctor. In August 1914, he was chief of the medical staff of Fort of
Lierre (Lier, in Flanders). After the fall of the fort, he went to Anvers
(Antwerpen) until its capitulation on October 10. Then he followed the Belgian
army into the north of France. In February 1915, he joined the A.C.M.
Corps (Corps des Autos-Canons-Mitrailleuses) which included Belgian volunteers
(including nobles, famous sportsmen, future Belgian writer Marcel Thiry, etc.).
The Corps was sent to Russia by boat, received by the Tsar and saw service in
Galicia. The volume is listed as No 1, but it is not clear if the second was
ever issued

that the infection was transmitted though the lice droppings, and would only
occur if these were scratched into the skin, he confirmed that oral ingestion
was not a factor by feeding sandwiches laced with louse excreta to two “gallant
souls”. He also noted that US soldiers
with typhoid fever did not develop dry and foul mouths because they chewed gum

Boston, Houghton Mifflin, 1918
The author visited and studied medical

experience. One chapter entitled “New
Faces for Old” outlines some facial surgery techniques. It is comprehensive,
but marred by repetition and a virulent writing style in which women are
patronised and the Hun is vilified.
Special loathing and contempt is reserved for prostitutes; he quotes
“experimental examinations” that show up to three-quarters as being feeble
minded, and suggests that if detected early (by screening tests between the
ages of nine and eleven) they could be segregated and educated in special
colonies until the age of forty-five.

Ramsay, Ron J. ( ed. ) Hell, Hope and Heroes. Life in
the Field Ambulance in World War I -- the Memoirs of Private Roy Ramsay A.I.F
Australia, Rosenberg
Publishing Pty. Ltd
In 1915, Private Roy Ramsay, freshly trained at a camp near Brisbane,
set sail from Australia for the Middle East with the 4th Light Horse Field
Ambulance. Serving on hospital ships in the Dardanelles and evacuating a
mounting number of sick and wounded, he learns about the battles from the
wounded. Serving with the 1st Division 3rd Field Ambulance on the Western
Front, he goes through Pozieres and other major set-piece battles of trench
warfare. Attached to Dressing Stations just behind the front line Roy is able
to keep in touch with his mates and with the AIF's overall tactical situation.
With the Australians now united in one corps under General Monash and despite
constantly decreasing numbers, they play a key role during the last six months
of the war in driving the Germans back to the Hindenburg Line. This account of
Roy's life was edited from his diaries by his son

HMSO for the Ministry

26 Reports prepared on
behalf of the Ministry of Labour in 1917, each Report c.6-18pp. By early 1917
the Ministry of Labour was addressing the problem of finding suitable
employment for returning servicemen with various kinds of physical and/or
mental impairment, ranging from amputations of arms & legs or fingers
&c., to those emerging from their service experience with loss of vision or
hearing, a nervous disposition, or suffering from the effects of gas &c.
that would suffer more under certain conditions & benefit from others,
e.g., outdoor work. Each of the 24 reports offered here examines a particular
trade or industry, making recommendations on the types of openings available
for men with war disabilities. They range from Attendants at Electricity
Sub-Stations to Employment in Picture Theatres, Agricultural Motor Tractor
Work, Leather Goods Trade, Boot & Shoe Repairing, Jewellery & Dental
Mechanics to Aircraft Manufacture, Engineering, Printing & various other
industries. Each Report contains recommendations on the suitability of certain
types of work within the industry concerned for various types of disability,
with advice & comments of training, prospects &c. A sad but necessary

Chapters include Functional nervous disorders, Soldier’s heart (now
considered a functional condition, dysentery, amoebic hepatitis and abscess,
trench fevers, paratyphoid, epidemic jaundice, beri-beri, war nephritis and gas
poisoning. Interestingly he suggests
that trench fever was louse-borne, an observation only later confirmed by field
studies (Strong et al, q.v.)

Evacuation in moving warfare; aetiology and prophylaxis of influenza (including
a communication by Colonel Edgar E. Hume, US Army: “Influenza in the American

Sir Robert Jones was an orthopaedic surgeon of
considerable ability and is considered one of the fathers of British
orthopaedic surgery. Originally enlisting as a lieutenant, it was not until a
number of American surgeons had asked for introductions to the “head of army
orthopaedics” that he was plucked from obscurity and rapidly promoted.

Jacques
Joseph is perhaps the most notable German plastic surgeon of the early 20th
Century. During WW1 he was Director of
the Division of Facial Plastic Surgery at the Charité Hospital, Berlin where he
operated on numerous war casualties; this book, published well after the war,
distils some of that experience. His
written work largely disappeared under the restrictions on Jews in the
1930s. Technically superb, this book is
perhaps more rigorous in its approach than Gillies’ “Plastic Surgery of the Face” (and considerably more thorough than the
almost contemporary large format – and expensive – book produced by Esser) but
relatively unknown in the English-speaking surgical world of the time

A. The Politics of Wounds: Military
patients and medical power in the Frist World War
Oxford, Oxford University Press,
2014
An
overview of the wider effects of soldiers’ wounds, and the medical and
political response to them. Thoroughly
researched, but depressingly negative, perhaps as a result of source selection,
the analysis over-interprets some of the aspects and applies today’s values to
yesterday’s events.

hospital later evolved into the Canadian Red Cross Hospital, famous as the
birthplace of paediatric rheumatology under Dr Barbara Ansell.

Lindsay
D. Daryl Lindsay’s “Digger” Book (intro
by CEW Bean)
Melbourne, Sun Art Studios, 1919
Originally issued in soft card covers with a
string tie, with 14 illustrations, it was reissued as a limited edition of 450
copies and 30 artist’s proofs. The
drawings were made during 1916 before his work at Sidcup and before his
appointment as an Official War Artist.
Apart from his Sidcup work, there are five pen and wash works in the
collection of the Wellcome Foundation and his photograph album, in the RACS in
Melbourne, includes a number of pictures of the Western Front as well as images
of Sidcup. We possess a line drawing of a “Digger”, which is reproduced
(without cigarette) in Lindsay’s books, written with his wife, on the history
of the Red Cross. See also entry for Prunster V
Kennett,
Lady Kathleen. Self-Portrait of an
Artist.
London, John Murray
Kathleen Scott was the widow of the polar
explorer Captain Robert Scott, who perished in his attempt to reach the South
Pole. A noted sculptress, she was
induced by Tonks to work at Sidcup. She
later married Lord Kennet. Much of the
book is in diary form and catalogues a remarkable collection of friends in high
places.
McCrae
J. In Flanders Fields and Other Poems.
London, Hodder & Stoughton, 1923
John McCrae was a Canadian doctor who died of
infection while on active service and is buried in the cemetery at Wimereux,
north of Boulogne. His brother Thomas
was a surgeon during the war at the Ontario Military Hospital, Orpington, Kent,
four miles or so from Sidcup. The book contains a facsimile of McCrae’s
handwritten draft of “In Flanders Field” which is noted to be inaccurate. A Canadian commemorative stamp was produced
depicting this famous poem.

Cambridge, c.1920
A set of 26 folio lithographs
Orpen
W. An Onlooker in France
London, Williams & Norgate, 1921
This is the standard book of war artists’
experience; but in fact, although Sir William Orpen produced some memorable and
powerful work, this autobiographical account is largely of Orpen’s jaunts
behind the lines with many senior officers, and his war appears to have been
quite genteel
Owen
W. The Pity of War
London, Orion Books ed 1996
An abridged paperback “pocket” edition
including “Mental Cases”, “S.I.W.” (Self-inflicted wound), “A Terre” (blindness
and depression) and “Hospital Barge at Cérisy”

Observation Ward” (a portrait of a shellshock victim) and “La Patrie”, the
famous painting of wounded men on stretchers in the train shed at Dunkirk
Phillips
CJ (ed.). Kentish Homes: visited by the
staff and nurses of the Ontario Military Hospital Orpington, Kent, in 1916
London, privately printed, 1917
Not a war or medical book at all,
but an account of a tour around some of Kent’s great houses. Tours were organised by the author, a
resident of Sevenoaks, for medical and nursing staff of the hospital, and the
book produced to serve as a permanent reminder.
Our copy came from Quebec
Prunster
V. The Legendary Lindsays
Sydney, Art Gallery of New South
Wales, 1995
A lavishly illustrated book produced to
accompany an exhibition mounted by the gallery, about Australia’s most renowned
artistic family of the early 20th Century.
While Norman’s work was widely considered pornographic at the time, his
younger brother Daryl (1889-1976 - q.v.) was a jackeroo at the onset of war,
and his artistic talents were only then to be recognised, when he enlisted and
became batman to his brother-in-law, Will Dyson. Working at the Queen’s
Hospital, Sidcup, he was befriended by Henry Tonks who introduced him to many
of the leading artists of the day. In
later life Daryl became a noted art administrator and for many years was
Curator of the National Gallery of Victoria.

articles and books by title and by author, the former grouped into anatomical
or technical subheadings. Some names
stand out; the enterprise was set up by the American Society of Plastic and
Reconstructive Surgeons when Ralph Millard (collaborator of Gillies in 1958, vide
supra) was president. It is possible
that Gillies had access to Zeis’ original work, here translated by TJS
Patterson; it contains some descriptive analysis of the referenced work. Vols 2 and 3 cover work derived from WW1; 18
entries appear for Gillies in Vol 2, some co-authored, while by contrast

Dugain M. La
Chambre des officiers
Paris, JC Lattès, 1998 (tr. Howard Curtis,
Phoenix House, 2000)
A modern novel based on
the experience of the author’s grandfather, wounded by a shellburst in 1914 and
treated for his facial injury in the Val-de-Grâce Hospital, Paris. A disturbing read, not least because of the relative
lack of medical and nursing care (and sympathy) compared to British experience
at Sidcup or Wandsworth

CS. Brown on Resolution
London, John Lane / The Bodley Head,
1929
Set
between Coronel and the Falklands, this story details the destruction of a
German cruiser which, forced to make repairs after sustaining damage in battle
with a British ship, is delayed by the sole British survivor who escapes with a
rifle onto the inhospitable island in the Galapagos where the cruiser has
anchored to effect repairs. This delay
results in the ship’s destruction, as it is caught by a British squadron. An unusual story from the author better known
for his Hornblower novels of the Napoleonic era.

Novel about
hospitalisation of a soldier injured when he was carrying his wounded officer.
Gordon
R. The Facemaker
London, William Heinemann, 1967
Richard
Gordon (Gordon Ostlere), better known for his “Doctor” series has constructed
an interesting novel about a between-the-wars plastic surgeon; it begins in
WW1. The characters are based on a sound
knowledge of the practitioners of the time, mirroring in particular the
French-American dentist Valadier and Gillies himself (even
though he pops up in reference). A
female to male sex-change operation is described, although it occurs ten years
before Gillies actually performed the first ever in 1946
Gurner

F. The Old Blood
New York, A.L. Burt Company, 1916
Period novel centred on a young American caught
up in the German advance of 1914, while visiting his two cousins in
France. After signing up in the British
artillery he is wounded in the face, and suffers with shellshock. The novel explores the effect of his
disfigurement on his two cousins, both of whom are in love with him; the quiet
beauty cannot cope, but the ugly extrovert sees him through, getting her man in
the end (and having cosmetic surgery herself)

London, Faber & Faber, 1988
Not fiction, but a useful study of English

Pilcher V. The Searcher.
A War Play
London, William Heinemann, 1929
A quite extraordinary
and gloomy “play” set in an evacuation hospital. The reading version is interspersed with
detailed instructions on the set, the delivery of the words and so forth. It first appeared a few days after the famous
(and recently resurrected) “Journey’s End”.
Critical comments on the dustwrapper flyleaf are curiously highly
critical: “…less like purposeful art than literary hysteria” (The Observer); “A
pretentious volume” (The Referee); “I see no sense in it at all” (Daily
Express). The title reflects the mission
of the Red Cross worker who attempts to establish the names of the missing

small number whose subject matter is directly related to injuries of the head
and face.

15. Historical plastic surgery texts
This group of books represents a small summary of some of the textbooks
that might have been available to Harold Gillies and his colleagues when they
started off into the unknown field of facial surgery. Gillies’s biography (Pound, q.v.) suggests
that Gillies had found a text by Lindemann;
while it is possible that this is contained in a book edited by Bruehl (q.v.)
my own suspicion is that the book concerned is that by Nélaton and L’Ombrédanne
(the latter name sounding rather like Lindemann). This is backed up by an anecdote that a later
pupil of Gillies spied this latter book on a shelf, and when he asked of its
influence on the great man he was somewhat evasive.
Those books which came just before the war, but were revised during or
after it on the basis of WW1 experience, remain in Section 5.

Hammond and John Brinton. The collection
now forms part of the Otis Historical Archives, and contains a large section on
facial injury. The photographs are
accompanied by detailed contemporary case histories. Whether Gillies ever saw these is open to
question, but he might have seen the Civil War Medical History which contains
some of them. The collection sets the
pattern for case recording which Gillies and his colleagues developed, although
the systematic use of photography to detail the sequences of operations is of
course absent from this early work

Lagarde. La prothèse par les injections de paraffine
Paris
Malone 1907
Contains
2 photographs and a small number of diagrams, but does allude to the risks of
rejection or extrusion which were almost inevitable consequences of this
technique; the paraffin would also migrate
Lindemann A. Leitfaden der Chirurgie und Orthopädie des
Mundes und der Kiefer (Manual of surgical and orthopaedic management of mouth
and jaws)
Leipzig, Verlag von Hermann Meusser, 1939
A
major textbook in 10 parts, of which it appears that only the first 3 were
published. Lindemann was the overall
editor, and there were planned contributions from Esser, Haberling, Hofrath,
Huebschmann, Leix, Löhlein, Münch, Schreus and Seiffert
Martin C.
De la prothèse immediate appliquée à la resection des maxillaire,
rhinoplastie sur appareil prothétique permanent, restauration de la face
Paris,
Masson 1889
Treatise
on prosthetic replacement including jaw and palatal prostheses and nasal
masks. Claude Martin writes “L’autoplastie, malgré
les resources nouvelles dues au perfectionnement continuel de ses procédés, ne
peut pas dépasser certains limites… La
prosthèse a donc encore un immense champ devant elle; elle restera toujours le
moyen nécessaire pour combler certains déficits ou masquer certaines pertes de
substance”. This suggestion, that reconstruction has its limits and that
masking would be used as the usual treatment, was still current thinking by
WW1, as the work by Anna Coleman Ladd in Paris showed. See Delaporte, Duguain and Rémi (q.v.)

These books are outside the
Bibliography’s usual time frame, but are included because of their seminal
influence on Harold Gillies. Techniques
are fully illustrated with skilful drawings; there are no photographs and the
approach is mechanistic, with in particular the several (slightly) different
techniques of nasal reconstruction presented but lacking any rigorous
comparison or outcome comments

Royal College of Surgeons: Tracts Volume
388
Two
papers are bound into this volume among other; Hamilton’s paper (58pp) on the
“Lost Nose” and the Army Medical Division’s Report for 1861 “Report on the
Gunshot and sabre wounds of invalids sent to Fort Pitt during the years 1860
and 1861”. This includes a case history
where the injured man appears to have been malingering
Shah TM. Rhinoplasty
Jungadh Sarkari 1889
Tribhovandas
Motichand Shah’s book relates the 19th century Indian
experience. The volume is in the RCS
library and would presumably have been available to Gillies; there are diagrams
and a number of before-and-after photographs, but the techniques are not
clearly explained
Tagliacozzi G. Cheirurgia nova ... de narium, aurium,
labiorumque defectu, per insitionem cutis ex humero, arte, hactenus omnibus

Francofurti, excudebat Johannes Saurius,
impensis Petri Kopffii, 1598
Gaspare
Tagliacozzi (1545-1599) is considered the father of European nasal
surgery. The text is in Latin, with 22
plates; one plate is missing from the copy in the Royal College of Surgeons’
Library. Much of the concentration on,
and fascination with, the nose relates to the two significant causes of severe
nasal deformity – lupus (cutaneous tuberculosis) and congenital syphilis (see
Sander Gilman, q.v.)

Denis McDonnell was instrumental
in helping me with searches and acquisitions, and his premature death was a
blow. I would also like to thank
Luc-Daniel Dupire, John Marrin, Steve Tilston, Graham Nelson , David Harrison,
David and Lynn Smith and Yves Buffetaut who have been the source of some of the
works in the Gillies Library, now the Bamji Collection in the Brotherton
Library, University of Leeds; to Thijs Gras, Markus Poehlmann, Roger Coy and
Erich Fritsch for contributing titles; to Gary Mitchell for his collection of US
unit histories; to Brian Turner and Tom Donovan of Turner Donovan books who
have not only supplied several but corrected the attributions of some and
supplied a number of useful notes; and to Jane Plotke and Geoffrey Miller of
the WWI list who in commissioning this full bibliography for the WWI Document
Archive made sure I finished it.
