Abstract

This year marks the centenary of the start of World War I and with the coming centenary of the involvement of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps in the Gallipoli campaign. We look at the careers of four doctors who served at Gallipoli and their various contributions to anaesthesia. Drs Eric W.B. Woods, John W.B. Bean, Piero F.B. Fiaschi and Bernard T. Zwar all served as part of the Australian Army Medical Corps. All survived the war.

Keywords: ANZAC; Gallipoli; anaesthesia; doctors.
