After looking at the picture of the soldiers on the front page of CWT (the one with the man on crutches), it got me thinking how horrible some of these injuries must have been…though that guy seemed ok.
I know the Minie ball caused catastrophic damage, often requiring amputation, but I imagine that soldiers who were shot but retained their limbs still dealt with some serious issues.
Is there data for soldiers who became disabled due to battlefield injuries?
