Hi guys,
I'll be at this event doing a Span-AM War era nurse. If you are in
the area, please come by or participate if you do a medical
impression! It would be great if I could have a doc or a medic that
could join me. Feel free to pass along to the other lists out there
as well.
Thanks!
Deb

Civil War Medical and Military Medical Showcase
Saturday and Sunday, 26 and 27 April
9-4 Saturday; 10-4 Sunday.
A military medical history extravaganza at Poplar Hill on His
Lordship's Kindness in Clinton, MD. Many periods represented,
including Indian Wars, War of 1812, Civil War, WWII, Korean War and
modern units. A battle reenactment starts at 1 p.m. each day and
surgeons of the medical units start to work as the casualties stream
in from the battlefield. As a civilian observer, you may have to
lend a hand evacuating the wounded from the field. Compare the
differences and advances in military medicine though time as the day
progresses. Vintage military vehicles, a modern ambulance, a
helicopter, displays on bioterrorism, with isolation and
bioterrorism team demonstrations. Visit the camps and talk with
soldiers about the hardships and why they are fighting. The Poplar
Hill historic house and carriage collection will be open for tours.
Units interested in participating contact Col. Suellyn Wright Novak
