Lifesavers and Body Snatchers

This book explores the sophisticated and evolving medical care in the Canadian medical services during the Great War. It highlights the crucial role of the Canadian Army Medical Corps in saving lives, preventing disease, and treating wounds, including those caused by chemical weapons.

The book also delves into the disturbing practice of harvesting body parts from fallen soldiers for medical study and exhibition, a previously untold aspect of the war's medical history.

Based on deep archival research and unpublished letters, the book provides a powerful narrative on the medical services' impact on the war and their legacy in shaping Canadian public health.
