World War II: the Army Dental Corps in the Far East.
During the recent remembrance of VJ day, war veterans have related their own experiences as prisoners in the Japanese PoW camps. In this article, members of The Army Dental Corps recount their own histories during the war in the Far East. Whilst the conditions in which they lived are horrifying, the ingenious creation of dental tools and chairs from what materials they could find in order to carry on performing what they were enlisted to do--dentistry--is inspiring to say the least.
