    C w M 2781 w E w C .c HISTORICAL c h n o NEUROSCIENCE s ic .o e Duchenne De Boulogne: A Pioneer in rg Neurology and Medical Photography André Parent ABSTRACT: Guillaume-Benjamin-Amand Duchenne was born 200 years ago in Boulogne-sur-Mer (Pas-de-Calais, France). He studied medicine in Paris and became a physician in 1831. He practiced general medicine in his native town for about 11 years and then returned to Paris to initiate pioneering studies on electrical stimulation of muscles. Duchenne used electricity not only as a therapeutic agent, as it was commonly the case earlier in the 19th century, but chiefly as a physiological investigation tool to study the anatomy of the living body. Without formal appointment he visited hospital wards across Paris searching for rare cases of neuromuscular disorders. He built a portable electrical device that he used to functionally map all bodily muscles and to study their coordinating action in health and disease. He gave accurate descriptions of many neuromuscular disorders, including pseudohypertrophic muscular dystrophy to which his name is still attached (Duchenne muscular dystrophy). He also invented a needle system (Duchenne’s histological harpoon) for percutaneous sampling of muscular tissue without anesthesia, a forerunner of today’s biopsy. Duchenne summarized his work in two major treatises entitled De l’électrisation localisée (1855) and Physiologie des mouvements (1867). Duchenne’s iconographic work stands at the crossroads of three major discoveries of the 19th century: electricity, physiology and photography. This is best exemplified by his investigation of the mechanisms of human physiognomy in which he used localized faradic stimulation to reproduce various forms of human facial expression.

The “war to end all wars” took the lives of some fifteen million soldiers and civilians, and injured, maimed, and scarred tens of millions more. What follows is a selection of material drawn from our Literature and Americana departments related to the Great War. Included are novels, plays, and poetry, as well as descriptions of military preparations, political messages, and the treaties that ended the war (and unintentionally paved the way for World War Two). There are also several panoramic photographs, including images of African-American troops in Maryland training for European service, and other American troops patrolling the Mexican border as part of the “Punitive Expedition” against Pancho Villa. 1.

  • The Above Photo, from the Illustrated War News of September 1915
    The above photo, from the Illustrated War News of September 1915, exposes how many cameras of that era were unsuited to action shots, but the caption suggests another reason, that the photographer realised the batsman had an eye on hitting the ball into his stomach! Whatever, it is a seasonal frontispiece and several items inside mention cricket. One article, about disturbing the eternal rest of one of the “Several Battalion Commanders” in my talk last May is definitely not cricket but telling the story will hopefully result in a reverent solution see Page 15.

  • The Suffolk Regiment Archive
    The Suffolk Regiment Archive NB: This collection is housed at the Bury St Edmunds Record Office. When ordering documents from the collection all references (e.g. A14/8) should be prefixed with GB 554/ BRIEF HISTORY OF THE REGIMENT The regiment was raised in 1685 by Henry, Duke of Norfolk and was known in its early years by the name of its current Colonel. In 1751, when regiments were given numbers to mark their seniority, it was designated the 12th Regiment of Foot. It became the 12th, or East Suffolk Regiment in 1781 and the Suffolk Regiment in 1881. Except for two brief periods the regiment had one battalion until 1842, when a Reserve Battalion was created, which became the 2nd Battalion in 1858. There were two Territorial battalions - the 4th (1908-1961) and 5th (1908-1921, 1939-1945) - and during the two World Wars further 'Service' battalions were created. In 1947 the 2nd Battalion was disbanded and in 1959 the remaining Regular battalion, the 1st, was amalgamated with the Royal Norfolk Regiment to form the 1st East Anglian Regiment; this in turn merged with other regiments in 1964 to form the Royal Anglian Regiment. PRINTED HISTORIES The Suffolk Regiment by G Moir (1969) is a brief single-volume history while The Old Dozen: A Century of Photographs (2002) relates the history of the regiment since the 1860s through photographs. However the four official histories provide the best general overview of the regiment’s activities. These books should be the starting-point for any research into the regiment's history or the background of any individual soldier's service.
