Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Roll of Service in the Great War, 1914-1919 In this volume the University of Aberdeen records the service and the sacrifices rendered by her Graduates, Alumni, Students, and Staff during the Great War, and does homage to the memory of those of them who achieved the greatest that men can and laid down their lives for their friends- and indeed for all men, in so far as they fought, suffered and died for ideals which are essential to the higher life of the race. They entered the War at various stages of its development. Some already held commissions in the Regular Forces of the Crown - a few as combatants and many more in the medical services of the Navy and the Army. A still greater number, mindful of their duty to share in the defence of their country, were, when war broke out, members of the Territorial Force, mainly in the University Company of the Fourth Gordons and in several Artillery and Medical units. Without hesitation all of these responded to the call to active service. Of the rest the great majority also joined the King's Forces as volunteers. Those who followed under conscription went with as ready and gallant a will as their predecessors. As the lists show, a considerable number from first to last came from over the seas. To us, whom hundreds of them consulted before enlisting, or who visited them during their training, it was clear that, with few exceptions, they offered themselves only after deliberation and with an understanding of the high issues which confronted our people from 1914 onwards. Being from their education of more than average intelligence they were awake to what war meant and, as some of the following sketches reveal, they hated it - a hatred that deepened with every month's experience of its horrors. But their sense of duty to their people, to the Cause, and to themselves was still more strong and sustained them to the end. Their studies, or the practice of their professions, had been rudely broken. They entered on a discipline and a career alien to their previous habits and to the ideals of their education.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A most interesting book, both from a World War I historical perspective and from the major changes in medicine that are so well outlined.” —British Journal of Surgery The First World War resulted in appalling wounds that quickly became grossly infected. The medical profession had to rapidly modify its clinical practice to deal with the major problems presented by overwhelming sepsis. Besides risk of infection, there were many other issues to be addressed including casualty evacuation, anesthesia, the use of X-rays, and how to deal with disfiguring wounds—plastic surgery in its infancy. This book focuses closely on the human aspects of the surgery of warfare, and how developments in the understanding of combat injuries occurred. Ten essays covering a wide variety of topics, including the evacuation of casualties; anesthesia, shock, and resuscitation; pathology; X-rays; orthopedic wounds; abdominal wounds; chest wounds; wounds of the skull and brain; and the development of plastic surgery. All material is supported by an extensive number of figures, tables, and images. Those with a passion for the history of this period, even if they have no medical training, will find fascinating information about those surgeons who worked in Casualty Clearing Stations between 1914 and 1918—and laid the foundations for modern war surgery as practiced today.

Download or read book The Royal Navy s Air Service in the Great War written by David Hobbs and published by Casemate Publishers. This book was released on 2017-09-30 with total page 493 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a few short years after 1914 the Royal Navy practically invented naval air warfare, not only producing the first effective aircraft carriers, but also pioneering most of the techniques and tactics that made naval air power a reality. By 1918 the RN was so far ahead of other navies that a US Navy observer sent to study the British use of aircraft at sea concluded that any discussion of the subject must first consider their methods. Indeed, by the time the war ended the RN was training for a carrier-borne attack by torpedo-bombers on the German fleet in its bases over two decades before the first successful employment of this tactic, against the Italians at Taranto.Following two previously well-received histories of British naval aviation, David Hobbs here turns his attention to the operational and technical achievements of the Royal Naval Air Service, both at sea and ashore, from 1914 to 1918. Detailed explanations of operations, the technology that underpinned them and the people who carried them out bring into sharp focus a revolutionary period of development that changed naval warfare forever. Controversially, the RNAS was subsumed into the newly created Royal Air Force in 1918, so as the centenary of its extinction approaches, this book is a timely reminder of its true significance.
