From No Mans Land To Field Hospital

Speaker: Professor Jesica Mayer
Hospital Patients

What happens to you if you are severely injured, or wounded in action. The chances are that you will die very quickly if you do not receive medical attention. The only way this is going to happen is, if you are rescued by someone who is going to risk their own lives to come out and pick you up, then take you somewhere for medical assesment and intervention. Todays presentation is going to tell that story. Who comes for you, where they take you for treatment, and where you will end up once you are treated. This is the story of “From No Mans Land to Field Hospital”, and what goes on to get you there. This dangerous but vital journey will be related step by step by our invited guest speaker, Professor Jesica Meyer.

If you would like to attend any of our Monthly Meetings on the first Saturday of each month throughout the year, please come and visit us.

You are assured a warm and friendly welcome from our members and guests, and will be able to enjoy many interesting and informative talks from our invited speakers.

These presentations are then followed by a Q&A session and a lively interaction on the day subject, between our invited guest and our members.

Membership of The Western Front Association is optional and not essential for anyone wishing to come to any of our branch meetings.

I would say however, that membership of the WFA is of great benefit to anyone wishing to research into the military past of family members, or if you are wanting to dig deeply into people and events in and around the Great War.

Also the support and information you can obtain from the current membership, trustees, and publications, is second to none. And with easy access to the many documents now available to the association on its new website, membership has a great many things to offer.

Furthermore, both the magazines accompanying membership,Bulletin and Stand To! are regularly sent to members throughout the year, and are a great source of article's and information about the Great War, and all those who were involved.
