- Title
- Caduceus in Battle; 2010
- Description
- Thomas Ledford began by observing that despite his love for American history “the medical aspects influencing our major wars were entirely new to me.” Ledford described the heroic behavior of two nursing “icons” Florence Nightingale and Clara Barton. He then discussed the nurses who served in WWII who were trained at Lynchburg General, and Central Virginia’s highly skilled doctors who made the “ultimate sacrifice.” Ledford highlights the major advancements in medicine and in the "chain of evacuation" used in WWII.
