More Information
The Surgeon was responsible for treating injuries sustained during battle, managing illnesses, and performing the grim but necessary task of tending to soldiers' wounds with limited resources.
An encounter with the Regimental Surgeon offers an invaluable opportunity to learn about the medical practices of the time. From the wounds of war to the battle against infection, witness the harsh reality of 18th-century medicine and gain an appreciation for the resilience and dedication of those who fought and healed in an era long before the advancements of modern medicine.
