St Bartholomew's Hospital Journal

St Bartholomew's Hospital Journal was a monthly publication aimed at staff, students and alumni of Barts Hospital. During the war the journal received correspondence from students and staff serving on the Western and Eastern front. These letters cover a range of topics from reports of attacks, to letters relaying a dinner at the front which men from Barts attended. The journal also discusses how the hospital itself functioned during the war and it includes papers on new medical developments such as artificial limbs and facial reconstruction. The journal has been digitized from 1913-1919.
