TNA podcast: Prosthetics and the First World War

The National Archives in England (www.nationalarchives.gov.uk) has launched a new podcast series on its media player entitled Archive Notes, in which it talks to researchers about the records and stories they have uncovered at the institution. In the first edition, Prosthetics and the First World War, Louise Bell looks at 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.
