WW2 Combat Medics

You know, if you want the quintessential account of serving in a Field Surgical Unit (FSU), there's one book you have to find. It's called ELEVEN MEN AND A SCALPEL, by John Burwell Hillsman M.D.; it was written in 1948 and is hard to find, but I got my copy through abebooks.com. I've read it numerous times, and it's a magnificent story.

Dammit ... and I STILL haven't read that book and now I'm here, and it's way over there on your bookshelf! (I actually did skim parts of it ... amazing little book)
