Collection Summary
These 15 essays are entries for the 1933 Sir Henry Wellcome Medal and Prize which is awarded to the author of an article published in the AMSUS official journal, "Military Medicine," or published in another peer-reviewed professional journal.
Strangely, the majority of these entries were entered under fictitious names while the writing is serious and not fiction. It is unknown whether there was a specific theme for 1933, but this collection consists of various essays on only two topics: military medicine as a specialty and the value of sanitation planning.
Each topic is arranged alphabetically by the fictitious name with the author's real name provided in parenthesis. Those names not in parenthesis are the author's real names.
