Abstract:
On March the 27th 1811 the Danish tried in vain to reconquer the island Anholt, occupied by the British in 1809. The Danish casualties were treated by a British naval surgeon, James Marr Brydon, who was carrying out a good deal of amputations, a procedure very seldom among Danish surgeons. The treatment is documented by certificates from Danish surgeons after transfer of the wounded persons to garrisons in Jutland. James Marr Brydone furthermore saved one of the Danish surgeons for a court-martial having been blamed responsible for the death of a wounded Danish captain treated by the British. In a letter to the commanding Danish general Brydone explained what actually happened.
