Bullet lodged in soldier's foot (1899). Historical X-ray of the foot of a Boer War (1899-1902) soldier,showing a gunshot wound. A Mauser bullet has become lodged between the metatarsal bones of the big and second toes. The bullet has not broken any bones; but the end phalanges of the toes are deformed,perhaps from tight army boots and long marches. This radiograph was made by the soldier positioning his foot above a photographic plate,while an open electric discharge tube emitted the X-rays. (See photo N060/010,which shows the soldier having the X-ray taken). The Boer War was fought between Britain and the Boers,the Dutch settlers in South Africa | |
