Sgt. Martin Burke (CP 1099), National Museum of Health and Medicine Description: Sergeant Martin Burke, Company K, 15th New York Heavy Artillery, shows the stump of his left arm which was amputated as the result of a gunshot wound received at the battle of Petersburg on June 25th, 1864. The wound became gangrenous and the bone necrosed. Aggressive treatment occurred. History is on reverse: “Martin Burke. Gunshot wound. Disarticulation at shoulder. Martin Burke, sergeant, Co. K, 15th N.Y.H.A., aged 29, admitted to Harewood U.S.A. Gen’l Hospital, September 13, 1865, suffering from amputation of left arm, upper third. Wounded before Petersburg, June 25, 1864; operation performed at Lincoln Hospital—particulars unknown. The patient states that at time of operation his constitutional state was good; but that parts became soon afterwards erysipelatous, extending through the whole chest, gangrenous, and considerably sloughing, a destruction of soft parts, and the shaft was entirely removed by disarticulation at shoulder joint, by straight incision, March 29, 1865. The bone became necrosed nine months after the amputation; several abscesses had since collected in stump, and up to date, although the patient is in good health, there are still several fistulous openings, with considerable discharge of pus. Treatment, disinfectant, astringent lotions, and supporting throughout with liberal use of iron internally.” Date: circa 1864 Photo ID: CP 1099 Source collection: OHA 75: Contributed Photographs Related Material: CP 430 Repository: National Museum of Health and Medicine, Otis Historical Archives Rights: No known restrictions upon publication, physical copy retained by National Museum of Health and Medicine.
