I summarize my experience as the first neurologist serving the US Forces in Viet Nam, 24 December, 1965 to 18 November, 1966. Stationed at the 93rd Evacuation Hospital in Long Binh, and working with a KO (neuro-psychiatric) team, I saw a wide variety of patients under conditions unique for a neurologist.

W. H. R. Rivers was the most famous member of the Cambridge Expedition to the Torres Strait. At the time, he was a physician and had an international reputation as a researcher in physiological psychology. The expedition signaled the beginning of his career in social anthropology, but also a long hiatus in his activities in medicine. His clinical interests revived during World War I. As an officer in the Royal Army Medical Corps (RAMC), Rivers became a leading proponent of "psychological medicine." Today, his war-time psychiatry is remembered mainly in association with his patient, Siegfried Sassoon. This article focuses on his wartime activities, his clinical practices, and his theories concerning the war neuroses and the unconscious. The currently popular view of Rivers as a quasi-Freudian humanist is challenged.
