Royal Australian Army Dental Corps History
Our historian LtCol Sven Kuusk is currently working on
the Dental Corps history. The book will probably have the title
FANG FARRIERS - Army Dentists in Peace and War - A History of the
Australian Army Dental Corps from 1915 to 2005. At this stage it has about 300 pages, has a long way to go, and much editing. LtCol Sven Kuusk would like to make contact with past and present members of the Corps to collect human interest stories. He needs lists of names, ranks, unit locations, photo's etc. LtCol Sven Kuusk can be contacted at:
