AbstractWe performed a study during our Trauma Week when patients who were referred from the accident department with fractures were reviewed in our fracture clinic. During our Trauma Week, Mister Thomas, Consultant Orthopaedic and Trauma Surgeon or Surgeon Lieutenant Commander McLean, Specialist Registrar in Orthopaedic and Trauma Surgery reviewed a total of 93 patients in fracture clinic. All patients were given an anonymous questionnaire regarding their perceptions of their attending clinician, 77 were completed. Forty-nine questionnaires regarding Surgeon Lieutenant Commander McLean and 28 regarding Mister Thomas were available for analysis. During the Trauma Week all patients were seen in the same location in identical cubicles by either of the two clinicians, consultations were typically brief lasting about five minutes. Throughout the week the clinicians, one military and one civilian, wore differing attire. The military uniform comprised Royal Navy number four action working dress. The civilian attire comprised ‘dog-robbers’ (jacket, shirt with tie and smart trousers). The hypothesis tested was that the use of military uniform might alter patients’ perceptions of their attending clinician. Our results appear to demonstrate that the attire of the attending clinician does not adversely influence patients’ perceptions of their attending clinician.

This study determined the perceived safety and comfort of an alternating tread stair and a conventional ships ladder. The alternating tread stair and the conventional ships ladder were also compared with respect to travel time and missteps. Subjects in military uniform ascended and descended both the alternating tread stair and the conventional ships ladder under load and no-load conditions. In the load condition subjects performed trials while carrying a 9-kg tool box, and in the no-load condition trials were performed without the tool box. Results indicate that the alternating tread stair is perceived to be safer and more comfortable to use. Moreover, the alternating tread stair had significantly fewer missteps.

This chapter explores Jonathan Swift's Gulliver's Travels as a source for graphic satire, specifically considering James Gillray's King of Brobdingnag, and Gulliver (1803). In a parodic reimagining of Part 2, Chapter 7 of Gulliver's Travels, George III, dressed in military uniform, scrutinizes with his spyglass the diminutive, swaggering Napoleon standing on the palm of his outstretched right hand. It is one of the most reproduced and instantly recognizable political caricatures in British history, and it has come increasingly to be entwined in the cultural memory with the very text it adapts. Of course, the efficacy of this 1803 caricature lies in its striking simplicity—the juxtaposition of two profile figures, one small one large, against a plain background—but the question of how it orients itself in relation both to Gulliver's Travels and to the longer history of that text's adaptation and political appropriation is more complex.

ABSTRACT Objective: To analyze the symbolic effects of the official military uniform of the nurses from Brazilian Army in World War II. Method: This research was developed using the historical method, with iconographic sources. The data were discussed based on the concepts of the social world theory, by Pierre Bourdieu. Results: The images selected demonstrate the own meaning of the uniforms, evidencing the functions and the social position of those who wear it, being private and obligatory to use it in the military field. Final considerations: In the case of the nurses from the Brazilian Expeditionary Force, the appropriation of uniforms promoted the visual communication representing military nurse in the context of war, at the same time it served for distinction purposes in the army, but not necessarily in the nursing field. Symbolically, they remained amongst the walls of the barracks even after the end of the war and, thus, they remained unknown and marked by the symbols of forgetfulness.

This chapter charts how Auden’s strategies for writing about war as a civilian changed during World War II, extending the previous chapter’s inquiry regarding the journalistic aspirations of his 1930s writing and his vision of the transformation of bodily experience into text. It contends that the poems of Another Time offer parables of wartime interrelation: models for imagining the relation between contemplation and action, civilian and soldier. Further, whereas The Double Man has been read as superannuated and excessively rhetorical, this chapter argues that it shrewdly showcases the resources of poetic language available to the noncombatant. A concluding section examines a surprising episode in 1945 when Auden donned a military uniform for the United States Strategic Bombing Survey and finally got the bird’s eye view of war he had imagined.
