    Author: Dunnill MS.
    Journal: J Med Biogr; 2010 Nov; 18(4):186-93. PubMed ID: 21079254.
    Abstract:
    In 1914 Victor Horsley, 56 years old, pioneer neurosurgeon, politician and ardent supporter of the temperance movement volunteered for active service. After a brief period in France he was posted to the Middle East, initially to Egypt and then to Mesopotamia. There he witnessed the horrors of that campaign. His attempts to alleviate the appalling conditions to which the wounded were subjected took toll of his own health and the official cause of his death in 1916 at Amara was heat stroke.
