Lord Justice of Appeal John Fletcher Moulton and explosives production in World War I
At the end of November 1914 Lord Moulton (1844–1921) became the director of explosives production in the War Office. A 70-year-old jurist may seem an extraordinary choice, but he was an extraordinary man. He was Senior Wrangler at Cambridge, was elected to the Royal Society for research on electricity, and learned about chemistry as a barrister for dye and explosives manufacturers. He assembled an able team of administrators and chemists who desi…
Mirrors and smoke
In 1916 Captain A. V. Hill was transferred from the infantry to the Ministry of Munitions to work on anti-aircraft gunnery. He determined the three-dimensional coordinates of flying objects by placing two mirrors far apart. The mirrors were viewed from a fixed distance above them and observers simultaneously marked the position of the object. He gathered brilliant men, most too old or too young for conscription, who became known as Hill's Brigand…
William Maddock Bayliss's therapy for wound shock
During World War I, military surgeons discovered that patients die from wound shock because their blood pressure falls catastrophically. William Maddock Bayliss produced experimental shock by bleeding anaesthetized cats, which lowers their blood pressure. He restored pressure by infusing salt solution containing enough gum acacia to generate the colloid osmotic pressure ordinarily contributed by the plasma proteins. Ernest Henry Starling had demo…
Lawrence Bragg's role in the development of sound-ranging in World War I
In 1915, when Lawrence Bragg was a 25-year-old Second Lieutenant in the Royal Horse Artillery, seconded to ‘Maps GHQ’, he learned that he and his father had shared the Nobel Prize in physics. Lawrence's equation was crucial for winning the prize and he had been wounded by his father's early dissemination of their work with casual attribution to ‘my son’. Lawrence was responsible for developing methods for pinpointing the position of enemy artille…
