About
A look at how medical care provided by the Canadian medical services during World War I was sophisticated and constantly evolving, with many lives saved, and how lessons learned during the war were brought back to Canada to improve the country's health care. However, the harvesting of human body parts in medical units behind the lines was also part of this care, and almost 800 individual body parts were removed from dead soldiers and sent to the Royal College of Surgeons in London, England to be treated and exhibited.
