I found this tucked away on the DM site, the pictures are quite graphic, I actually found them quite shocking as some of them look so young. link |

They probably look so young because they were so young – as I recall about 10% of the Union army were 16, and the percentage for the Confederates was probably higher I agree – very shocking |

"Private Jno. F. Ames was wounded at the Battle of Gravelly Run, Virginia on 31 March 1985. He required a ligation – the tying off – of a main artery in his neck which supplies blood to the head" That doesn't sound good. |

Look on the plus side, all these men survived their injuries. In previous wars they would've died. Crude medicine is better than none. |

I discussed the need for amputations with some surgeons at UTMB some years ago and their view was that even modern techniques could not prevented most of them. The damage done by the large caliber, soft lead bullets of the team was so significant that amputation was the most successful treatment. |
