Default Re: Real-Life Weirdness

Adding to the weirdness that was Allied volunteer medical car in WWI, I stumbled on Auguste Charles Valadier, an French American dentist. And he retrofits his Rolls-Royce with a dental chair, and he literally drives it to the front under a hail of bullets. He works for free the entire war.

This is a side character in FitzHarris' The Facemaker about Harold Gillies and reconstructive facial surgery in WWI.
