Prosthetics and the First World War

The first episode of a Q&A series in which we talk to researchers about the records and stories they’ve uncovered at The National Archives.

In ‘Prosthetics and the First World War’, our First World War diverse histories researcher Louise Bell discusses the impact of the war on disability history through our records: from designs for lighter, more flexible prosthetics to new rehabilitation methods trialled by specialist hospitals.
