Research Facts
This volume is part of a larger journal with contributions from the Royal Canadian Navy, the Royal Canadian Army Medical Corps, the Royal Canadian Air Force, the Department of National Health and Welfare, and the Department of Veterans Affairs.
The Royal Canadian Navy was established in 1910 and was controversial at the time and initially received little government support; the Canadian Navy grew from these humble beginnings into a major contributor to nation defence and international conflict in the 20th Century.
The Royal Canadian Navy Medical Research unit was a well respected military medical organization and was directed by Charles Best, co-discoverer of insulin, beginning in 1942.
