In Melbourne the situation was more complex, but the same strategic advantage as Fremantle applied--returned soldiers were present in large numbers and they were unhappy about the preference given to the 1917

Susanne Caro, the librarian at the College of Santa Fe's Fogelson Library, found the
scabs in an envelope inside an 1888 book on Civil War medicine written by Dr.
