Description
Dominique Jean Larrey (July 8, 1766 - July 25, 1842) was a French surgeon in Napoleon's Grande Armée and an important innovator of battlefield medicine and triage. He initiated the modern method of army surgery, field hospitals and the system of army ambulance corps effectively creating a forerunner of the modern MASH units. He adapted artillery carriages for rapid transport of the wounded and manned them with trained crews of drivers, corpsmen and litter bearers. His writings are still regarded as valuable sources of surgical and medical knowledge and have been translated into all modern languages. Etching by André Dutertre, 1790s (cropped and cleaned).
