    Halfway through watching Last Voices from the First World War on Military History.
    Historical film footage, One of the nurses talked about using maggots on infected wounds. What a courageous generation. Certainly puts the adverts of Play Bingo into context!

    During WWII my Father in Law had very effective maggot treatment on a foot wound that was refusing to heal, he told me that he felt a very slight tickly sensation whilst they were at work, but in a very short time the wound was clear
