INTERNAT I ONAL COLLEGE OF DENT I STS About the Cover Illustration Military Dentist at the American Hospital of St. Nazaire, 1918 (w/c on paper) by Eveillard, George (c) Musee du Val de Grace, Paris / Archives Charmet / Bridgeman Art Library The original of the water color, Military Dentist at the American Hospital of St. Nazaire, by Georges Eveillard is located in the Musee du Val de Grace in Paris, France. In this depiction of an American military dentist Eveillard reminds us of the patriotism and sacrifice of American dentists in World War I and of our fellow dentists who are today serving our country. The painting is signed and dated 1918. St. Nazaire is in the Loire. There was not a formal dental corps prior to WW I. In June of 1917 General Pershing requested the Secretary of War to send the senior dental officer to France to establish a depot and organize work. The dental officer in question requested authority to organize and take with him a dental corps unit to be composed of himself and six specially qualified dental surgeons. The members of this unit assembled in New York City from July 10–15 and arranged to sail with the second convoy which was to leave on July 28. During the later part of June the Surgeon General also requested orders directing 20 members of the newly organized Dental Service Corps to proceed to New York for transportation with the second convoy of troops. The Army Dental Corps reorganization bill was signed by the president on October 6, 1917. During October and November, further consideration was given to the preparation of adequate plans for the organization of the dental corps on the comprehensive lines neces- sary to meet the need of an army of a million men. Under the new bill each Division was allowed 30 dental officers. Each hospital in the American Expeditionary Forces was staffed and equipped for dental service. An important development within each combat division area was the establishment of a headquarters dental clinic. Although the majority of dental officers during WW I served in France, others were assigned to England, Italy, northern Russia and to Russian military prison camps in Berlin.
