Dentist - The horrors of war 1917 Doormat

Colourized photo from 1917 Original Title: Soldier undergoing dental treatment during WWI Location: Nielles, France Your a soldier, your trained to fight hard and withstand pain. Trained to kill, trained in case your captured. You get shot you just brush it off. The enemy stabs you, you say, what was that? Felt like a scratch... Then your tooth hurts. All that training leaves you and all you feel is that slow turning drill in your mouth. Sitting in what looks like a folding chair. The dentist hunched over you, you both know the only light you have is from that window, so if a cloud were to pass by at just the wrong time, who knows what the reaction will be. The dentist is perhaps the best person to extract things. From teeth to information. He will get it done.
