World War, 1914-1918 -- Canada; World War, 1914-1918 -- Nova Scotia
For several weeks after the great explosion, which occurred on December
6, 1917, the Staff of the Camp Hill Dental Surgery rendered services and
co-operated with the medical officers, part of the dental surgery being
used as an operating room for the eye specialists. Some of the dental
officers on duty were severely but not seriously injured, and during the
first thirty-six hours after the explosion rendered valuable first aid
to the injured, with whom Camp Hill was overcrowded.
In 1916, at Aldershot Camp, two appendicitis operations were
successfully performed in the Camp Dental Surgery, which was completed
long before the Camp Hospital. These cases would probably have proved
fatal had it not been for the foresight of the dental Staff in
expediting the construction of this dental surgery.
Through the efforts of Dean Frank Woodbury arrangements were carried out
by the Dental Faculty of Dalhousie University for rendering dental
services to the men of the navy before the work was performed by the
Dental Corps.
