In 2 weeks Dominique Jean Larrey will be ready - aFrench surgeon in Napoleon's army. We think it could be interesting for our collectors to see the series of the Medical Corps – nurses, transporters, Larrey's wagon and so on. <O</O

Dominique Jean Larrey (8 July 1766 – 25 July 1842) - a French surgeon in Napoleon's army and an important innovator in battlefield medicine<O></O>
Larrey was surgeon-in-chief of the Napoleonic armies from Italy in 1797 to Waterloo in 1815. During this time, he initiated the modern method of army surgery, field hospitals and the system of army ambulance corps. After seeing the speed with which the carriages of the French flying artillery maneuvered across the battlefields, Larrey adapted them as Flying Ambulances for rapid transport of the wounded and manned them with trained crews of drivers, corpsmen and litter bearers. Larrey also increased the mobility and improved the organization of field hospitals, effectively creating a forerunner of the modern MASH units. He established a rule for the triage of war casualties, treating the wounded according to the seriousness of their injuries and urgency of need for medical care, regardless of their rank or nationality. Soldiers of enemy armies, as well as those of the French and their allies, were treated.<O</O
