Scope and content

A physicist friend of Fulton developed a case of macular degeneration after he was subjected to air-borne blast of high pressures during experimentation. Fulton asks if Duke-Elder had encountered the condition in civilians exposed to primary blast, or in service personnel similarly exposed in line of duty. Fulton mentions having met Duke-Elder in 1924 when he was a Rhodes Scholar at Magdalen.
