I've just finished watching one episode of the BBC Four series Blood and Guts: A History of Surgery
It talked about the amazing surgery performed on servicemen:
http://www.gilliesarchives.org.uk/index.htm
The Queen's Hospital, Sidcup performed plastic surgery of the face between 1917 and 1925, and today's Queen Mary's Hospital possesses a unique collection of over 2500 case files relating to that era.
The pages that follow show details of the collection; in addition there is background information about the present-day hospital and the Postgraduate Centre as well as the medical bibliography of the Great War and some useful links to sites about the war, plastic surgery and rheumatology.
For those younger, or of a more sensitive disposition, please beware that there are images in these websites that can be seen as disturbing.
When looking into this further I found the following websites regarding similar subjects:

God bless them all.
