Description
During World War I, Dr. Varaztad H. Kazanjian (1879-1974) used his surgical skills to treat the soldiers severely disfigured during combat. In 1915, he was appointed chief dental officer of the First Harvard Unit, organized to serve overseas with the British Forces, and established the first dental and maxillofacial unit clinic in France as part of the Unit's services at the General Hospital in Camiers. Dr. Kazanjian treated approximately 3,000 patients and was eventually dubbed "Miracle Man of the Western Front." This picture of the moulages is taken from the 1925 issue of The Mirror.
