Dr. J. Breckinridge Bayne: un erou al Primului Război Mondial în România?

  • Subiect: Dr. J. Breckinridge Bayne: a hero of the First World War in Romania? Dr. Breckinridge Bayne arrived in Bucharest exactly 100 years ago, in November 1916. He volunteered his service as a surgeon, after Romania had entered the war. He operated on the wounded while the war was raging close by and saved many lives. He also worked to contain typhus and cholera epidemics in Romanian villages. He stayed with his seriously wounded patients under the German occupation, even when he had to open a new hospital for them in Bucharest, as the only doctor, without any qualified staff. An inspiring story from WWI. American historian and diplomat Ernest H. Latham Jr. rediscovered this fascinating figure, the American physician Bayne, and, with him, a most dramatic fragment of Romanian history.
