Dominique Jean Larrey (1766-1842) was a French surgeon in Napoleon's army and an important innovator in battlefield medicine. Larrey was surgeon-in-chief of the Napoleonic armies from Italy in 1797 to Waterloo in 1815. During this time, he initiated the modern method of army surgery, field hospitals and the system of army ambulance corps effectively creating a forerunner of the modern MASH units.
