The largest part of western countries right now they find war inimaginabile, something which is described in books,yet it always existed never disappeared. media mange most of the information on behalf of the war in the world. some conflicts are presented in fragments and most of it never see the lights not even in the original country... In recent times most horrible and never presented to populations are in Angola ,Myanmar and Burkina, but this kind of information it's not appreciated by let's say a family where mother teacher and father tehnician in a factory of shoes,who want to present to their kids only the positive facts of quotidianity, not cruel facts in some remote part's of the world..but this reality exists and will continue to happen. The only way to avoid it's with the help of improvements in the educational system all around the world, because everyone need to understand what is war ,and ,the consequences on humanity and not only... .

This is so sad and heartwarming at the same time...they look so alive even after all they went through during the war...and of course after 100 years from the time this was filmed.

Such caring people. I remember being taught in the 1970's by many elderly lady teachers who were all "Miss so and so." They had obviously lost their menfolk in WW1 and preferred to live their lives in honour of their lost lives. Miss Malahan at Burton Road Junior School, Barnsley was one, for example.

Yeah I had a substitute teacher who was a older lady that was “Miss” this was early 2000s she was retired but still came in part time when needed. Her husband didn’t die in any conflict but died in a mining explosion in 1969-1970 in West Virginia, what’s really tragic was his body wasn’t ever recovered, looking into it a little bit later in life it’s most likely he was with a group of men who were trapped that were sealed away to prevent further explosions and fire that was raging inside, or it’s also likely he was vaporized completely. Really terrifying stuff I can’t imagine how she must’ve felt needing to tell the same story every time a 4th grader asked her why she was Miss and not Mrs.

Progress out of necessity! People came home with blown up faces and really needed help to go back to a more normal life and this was a key and a life saving thing!

How much pain for these young men who had to live with these horrific injuries!

When i was kneeheight to a grasshopper, there were still enough WWII veterans alive that they kept each other company in the RSAs. It was staggering to learn just how many of them were still getting around with bullets and shrapnel still in them. One lovely old man i knew, kept his garden and fruit trees, mowed his own lawn well into his 80s, had a Mauser rifle bullet lodged near the top of his chest cavity which no doctor dared remove because of the risk such surgery would pose to his life. They were a different breed of men back then.

This is a remarkable video . It does not in any way, however, relate to "the birth of plastic surgery". What is being shown is the early use of facial prosthetics. There is no surgical restoration or alteration involved at all. Nonetheless, it is a marvelous piece of work, and it does have significant impact regarding the early of cosmetic management of severe facial trauma. This is a significant piece of prosthetic restoration history. Thank for this amazing video. R. Henry, M.D., FACEP (Fellow, American College of Emergency Physicians)

I concur with most of the sentiments in this early part of this comment section. What also stands out to me is the apparent optimism. The people practicing their science and art look genuinely happy--presumably fulfilled by deriving satisfaction from their work. The patients also look happy, as in, accepting their lot in life, putting their best foot forward, and making a go of it, and counting their blessings, realizing that things could be worse and were indeed worse for some.

My Grandfather was a dental technician (just making false teeth), and during the war he was drafted to deal with people who had terrible injuries, ie lost their entire mandible. He did his best but he wasn't really trained for it and had no idea what to do. I think it left him very traumatised he was quite a bad tempered man he would never talk about it.

I don't know if I would call this the birth of plastic surgery so much as the birth of prosthetic technology...but that doesn't make it any less noteworthy or moving. Excellent remaster.

The unifying factor that unites this work is the study of wound healing, scar formation, and expertise with fashioning skin grafts.

Excellent find and restoration of this film footage. This is however not as much the birth of Plastic Surgery as much as it is the Birth of Prosthetics. These same techniques (life casting, sculpture, mould making and Prosthetic manufacturing) were eventually used by Make-up Artists in years to come to create fantastical creations for the movies, to alter the faces of actors into totally different visages.

This is FAAARRR from the birth of prosthetics. The first set of eye glasses were made I believe in the 13th century. Could’ve been 14th… that’s pretty innovative for it’s time. Now imagine how far back a piece of wood was used for a leg or as a cane . that’s as basic as it gets when it comes down to a prosthetic body part and that’s a lot closer to when people used rocks for a hammer 😂. But seriously, this process was itself innovative and began a push towards cosmetic surgery, they just lacked technology and knowledge of surgically implanting and of course we know that is possible today. I’d lean more towards the birth of plastic cosmetics

Considering the tech involved these protheses are remarkably good! Some serious passion went into them

In an age before antibiotics, for every man who survived such horrible injury, many would have perished painfully.

This is absolutely fascinating

WW1 was so devastating because of the introduction of trench warfare, machine gun nests, protracted shelling and improved shrapnel, chemical warfare and little in way of protection and medical response. Using outdated military maneuvers and tactics the generals sacrificed thousands to test the enemy’s fortifications and weaponry abilities. British command from the comfort of the HQ routinely sent these young men over the top to almost certain death and justifying their insane orders. Regard for human life was forgotten. Those that survived with horrific wounds and ptsd lead devastating lives.

Given the time, the [lack thereof] technology/science, etc., I'd say.... *quite impressive* !!
