Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of United States Army Base Hospital No; 36: Organized at Detroit, Michigan, April 11th, 1917 When the complete story of the great con ict is finally written our Hospital Units will come in for their well-merited share Of praise. Their contribution to the combined cause was not found wanting. Never has the world seen a finer body Of men and women than were assembled in those Units. They went forth imbued with the highest ideals of duty, and returned with the indorsement of work well and faithfully done. They arrived in France with little or no previous military training. That they could SO quickly adjust themselves to the work at hand, maintain an endless optimism ih the face Of distressing conditions, and render such Splendid services with the limited means at their disposal, constitutes one Of the brightest pages in the chronicles of the war. Base Hospital no. 36 was the first Unit of the bed type to be dispatched overseas. It arrived in France and became established at Vittel during the fall of 1917. It was an eye witness to the growth of the American Expeditionary Forces from infancy to full maturity. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
