- Lifesavers and body snatchers : medical care and the struggle for survival in the Great War / by Cook, Tim,1971-author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."The perception of medical care on the Great War battlefield recalls scenes from the American Civil War fifty years earlier: blood-soaked surgeons hacking off limbs with grim determination as broken men crawled into their dirty operating rooms. This couldn't be more wrong. Medical care in almost all armies, and especially in the Canadian medical services, was sophisticated and constantly evolving, with vastly more wounded soldiers saved than lost. After the war, the hard lessons learned by civilian doctors who were temporarily in military uniform were brought back to Canada. A new Department of Health created guidelines in the aftermath of the 1918-19 Spanish flu pandemic, which had killed 50,000 Canadians and millions around the world. In a grim irony, the fight to save soldiers' lives and improve civilian health was furthered by the most destructive war up to that point in human history. But medical advances were not the only thing brought back from Europe: Life Savers and Body Snatchers exposes the shocking story of the exploitation of human body parts during the Great War. Tim Cook has spent over a decade investigating the hidden history of Canadian medical doctors harvesting the body parts of slain Canadian soldiers and transporting their brains, lungs, bones, and other tissue or bones to the Royal College of Surgeons (RCS) in London. At least 1,200 individual Canadian body parts were removed from dead soldiers and sent to London, where they were stored, treated, and some put on display in exhibition galleries at the RCS. After being exhibited there, the body parts were displayed several times in both Montreal and Hamilton in the early 1920s. Life Savers and Body Snatchers will be the definitive medical history of the Canadian forces in the Great War, and a broader look into the medical advances that came from the carnage."--- Subjects: Body snatching; Medicine, Military; World War, 1914-1918;

- Till we meet again : a Canadian in the First World War / by Marriott, Brandon,1982-author.;
Includes bibliographical references."As he tended to the chores on his homestead, Lester Harper never imagined that he would turn in his hoe for a Lee-Enfield rifle on the Western Front. But the farmer from Pouce Coupe, in northern British Columbia, found himself at a party agreeing to help form a small-town regiment headed for France and the Great War. Lester left behind his wife, Mabel, in the shadow of the loss of their infant daughter, Hilda. A marksman before he even volunteered for the Canadian Army, Lester joined his cousin and friends, thousands of miles from his home, mere yards from the bayonets, bullets, and gas bombs of the feared Boche. In Till We Meet Again, the First World War comes to life in unprecedented detail, drawing on Lester's letters as well as meticulous historical research. Not since Timothy Findley's The Wars, Tim Cook's magisterial works about the First World War, or Erich Maria Remarque's All Quiet on the Western Front has a book about a soldier's life at the sharp end been told with such humour, gravitas, and in a heart-pounding narrative that drops you behind enemy lines. For at one point, Lester was trapped in a shell hole, a heartbeat away from the Germans setting up their machine gun to mow down his comrades. This is a remarkable story, remarkably told. This book will be heralded by historians as a new approach to telling a soldier's story and will become beloved by readers of military history and anyone who wants to understand what life was like for our boys behind the wire."--From publisher's website.- Subjects: Biographies.; Personal narratives.; Harper, Lester.; Canada.
