Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a rare account of a practicing doctor's experiences in the United States Army Medical Corps during World War I. The author, a physician in his late 60s, served on two tuberculosis medical examining boards, first at Fort Benjamin Harrison, and then at Camp Custer. Despite being beyond the age of commission, he was ordered to Camp Greenleaf for further training in identifying tuberculosis in potential recruits. His poignant observations humanize the massive wartime effort and bring a unique perspective to the challenges faced by medical professionals during the conflict. The book offers a valuable historical record and a personal narrative of patriotism, duty, and resilience in the face of adversity.
