Medical Legacy of the War 1914-1918

2014 marks the 100th anniversary of the outbreak of World War 1: a pivotal time for Europe and a key transition point for medical science. The Lancet marks this centenary with a three part series ‘Legacy of the war 1914-1918’. The three papers examine the impact of World War 1 on infectious disease, military psychiatry, and amputation related pain.
Just FYI, do not read the original shellshock reports unless you really enjoy nightmares, suffering, or medical history. They are very powerful.

I'm absolutely going to have to read as much of this as I can stand (thanks for the warning). Thanks for posting it.
