Dalhousie University, with the help of the other Maritime universities formed and sent a hospital to Europe during the First World War (WWI). They served from January 1916 to April 1919. There is no comprehensive account of the treatment of German wounded by Canadian Medical Services in WWI; however, there is direct photographic and written evidence from the No. 7 Canadian Stationary Hospital that the relationship was one of mutual trust, more characteristic of that between a health care provider and patient than between combatants. The activities of the No. 7 in treating German wounded from the Western Front provide insight into this undocumented aspect of the medical services in WWI. A previously unrecognized painting by Sir William Orpen, one of the leading artists of the 20th century, of the unit at work in France is described.

达尔豪斯大学在其他海事大学的帮助下,于第一次世界大战期间组建并向欧洲派遣了一家医院。他们从1916年1月服务至1919年4月。目前尚无关于加拿大医疗服务机构在第一次世界大战中治疗德国伤员的全面记录;然而,加拿大第7固定医院有直接的照片和书面证据表明,双方关系是相互信任的,这种关系更像是医疗服务提供者与患者之间的关系,而非战斗人员之间的关系。第7医院在治疗来自西线的德国伤员方面的活动,为第一次世界大战医疗服务中这一未被记录的方面提供了见解。本文描述了20世纪主要艺术家之一威廉·奥彭爵士一幅此前未被认可的画作,画中描绘了该部队在法国工作的场景。本评论的附录可在canjsurg.ca上获取。
