Abstract

The historiography of the American effort in World War I describes an American unwillingness to learn from the Allies. However true that may be for the combat arms, it was untrue for the Army Medical Department (AMEDD). The AMEDD sought a wide range of information from the beginning of the war, and through multiple channels that expand substantially and systematically once the U.S. entered the war. The information was also disseminated through multiple channels and made significant impacts on medical care in the American Expeditionary Force (AEF) during the Great War. Historians should be more cautious about assuming that all parts of the AEF were resistant to foreign information. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
