Download or read book U.s.s. Red Rover written by William L. Dike and published by Publishamerica Incorporated. This book was released on 2004-03 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: U.S.S. Red Rover, as a hospital ship, may seem rather primitive compared to modern medical facilities, including modern hospital ships. Her story, however, is of significant consequence as it relates at least three military and medical advances: the use of African-American personnel in the military, the establishment of nursing with the Sisters of the Holy Cross being the forerunners of the Navy Nurse Corps, and the utilization of a maritime vessel for the first time as a hospital ship. This narrative relates, from official records and related sources, the dynamics that enabled this transformation to come to fruition. Well known is the fact that the development of ironclads during the War between the States was a major advance in modern warfare. Less well known, but equally significant, are the advances resulting from the utilization of Red Rover as our first hospital ship. This narrative tells that story in well-documented detail.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is often said The first casualty of war is the truth and there is no better example of this than the furore caused by the claims and counterclaims of the British and German Governments at the height of the First World War. Wounded allied personnel were invariably repatriated by hospital ships, which ran the gauntlet of mined waters and gambled on the humanity of the U-Boat commanders. For, contrary to the terms of the Geneva Convention, on occasions Germany had sunk the unarmed hospital ships under the pretense they carried reinforcement troops and ammunition. The press seized on these examples of Hun Barbarity, especially the drowning of noncombatant female nurses. The crisis heightened following the German Governments 1 February 1917 introduction of unrestricted naval warfare. The white painted allied hospital ships emblazoned with huge red crosses now became in German eyes legitimate targets for the U-Boats. As the war on the almost 100 strong fleet of hospital ships intensified the British threatened reprisals against Germany, in particular an Anglo-French bombing raid upon a German town. Undeterred the Germans stepped up their campaign sinking two hospital ships in swift succession. Seven hospital ships struck mines and a further eight were torpedoed. Faced with such a massacre of the innocents Britain decided her hospital ships, painted and brightly lit in accordance with the Geneva Convention, could no longer rely on this immunity. The vessels were repainted in drab colors, defensively armed and sailed as ambulance transports among protected convoys. Germany had successfully banished hospital ships from the high seas.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is often said; 'The first casualty of war is the truth' and there is no finer example of this than the furore caused by the claims and counter-claims of the British and German Governments at the height of the First World War. Wounded Allied personnel were invariably repatriated by hospital ships, which ran the gauntlet of mined waters and gambled on the humanity of the U-Boat commanders. For, contrary to the terms of the Geneva Convention, on occasions Germany had sunk the unarmed hospital ships under the pretence they carried reinforcement troops and ammunition. The press seized on these examples of 'Hun Barbarity', especially the drowning of non-combatant female nurses. The crisis heightened following the German Government's 1 February 1917 introduction of unrestricted naval warfare. The white-painted Allied hospital ships emblazoned with huge red crosses now became, in German eyes, legitimate targets for the U-Boats. As the war on the almost 100 strong fleet of hospital ships intensified the British threatened reprisals against Germany, in particular an Anglo-French bombing raid upon a German town. Undeterred the Germans stepped up their campaign sinking two hospital ships in quick succession. Seven hospital ships struck mines and a further eight were torpedoed. Faced with such a massacre of the innocents Britain decided her hospital ships, painted and brightly lit in accordance with the Geneva Convention could no longer rely on this immunity. The vessels were repainted in drab colours, defensively armed and sailed as ambulance transports among protected convoys. Germany had successfully banished hospital ships from the high seas. This revised edition expands on the role of nursing staff and the lines of communication. Additional first-hand accounts and many more hospitals ship images are included.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The War on Hospital Ships: With Narratives of Eye-Witnesses and British and German Diplomatic Correspondence Since the first edition of this narrative of "The War on Hospital Ships" was issued, the disregard of conventions and explicit promises, the deliberate murder of wounded patients and the nurses and doctors engaged in the humane task of ministering to the broken men of all belligerent armies, have increased in range and violence. A summary of the war on hospital ships since May, 1917, with brief narratives from survivors, will be found in an added chapter, "The Second Year." That story has been compiled from the accurate and authenticated narratives of eye-witnesses. This brings the black list up to March 10th, 1918, and it unfolds a record of ruthlessness which has revolted the world. A further chapter, "Diplomatic Correspondence," contains the Memoranda from the German Government alleging the misuse of hospital ships by Great Britain and the reply of the British Government thereto.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The War on Hospital Ships: From the Narratives of Eye-Witnesses On March 17th, 1916, the Russian hospital ship "Portugal" was lying off Rizeh, on the Turkish coast of the Black Sea. She was on her way from Batoum to Ofi with a string of flat-bottomed boats in tow, destined for the conveyance of wounded from the shore to the ship. One of these boats had become water-logged, and was being pumped clear while the "Portugal" lay to. The "Portugal" carried no wounded at the moment, but the Red Cross Staff was on board and the full crew. The weather was clear. Suddenly the look-out man saw a periscope approaching the vessel, but the ships officers explained to all hands that they were immune from attack. When the "Portugal" had first been commissioned for Red Cross work - she belonged to the Messageries Maritimes and still kept her French officers and crew - the Russian Government had notified the Turkish and Bulgarian Governments of the fact, and had obtained from them a recognition of her status. In the clear weather her distinguishing marks could not be unobserved. The only thing now necessary, the Captain and the Mate explained, was to keep calm, and to take no precautionary measures which might arouse the submarine commanders suspicion.

This book was released on 2012-10-05 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For Christmas of 1988 my wife, Doris, and our children Ronn, Carolyn and Phyllis gave me a tape recorder in order that I might record my story of the war. So during the winter of 1989, I taped the story of my experiences of the time leading up to World War II and the time I spent as a Destroyer Escort Sonar Man in the Navy. My story ended up being 22 ninety-minute tapes. Over the course of 4 months during the winter of 2011-12, Erma Akey, my sister-in-law, transcribed my story using these tapes. My daughter, Phyllis Akey Gregg and her husband, K.T. (Tom) Gregg, edited this story. Thanks go to Erma, Phyllis and Tom for the time they spent on my memoirs of WWII. Additional thanks goes to my granddaughter, Cynthia Kiesel, and her sister-in-law, Janet Kiesel, for designing and publishing this book.

Book Synopsis Army Hospital Ships in World War II by : Harold Larson
Download or read book Army Hospital Ships in World War II written by Harold Larson and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-03-16 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph is based almost entirely upon the files of the War Department, supplemented in some instances by information obtained orally from certain individuals with special knowledge of the Army hospital ships. In particular, considerable assistance was derived from the staff and records of the Water Division, Office of the Chief of Transportation, Army Service Forces. In addition, the Medical Regulating Officer, Office of the Surgeon General, Army Service Forces, placed his inactive files at the disposal of the writer. At present, five additional vessels have been selected for conversion into Army hospital ships. The conversion program, as extended, will not be accomplished until the spring or early summer of 1945, but represents no radical departure from the procedure already developed. Accordingly, it has appeared advisable to close the account at this point, since further developments may be incorporated in an addendum of a later date. The evacuation of the sick and wounded is a perennial problem in the history of warfare. The initial phase of such evacuation, namely, the assembling of patients from the battlefield, has long been and still is the task of the litter bearers. To carry on beyond the preliminary phase of collecting the sick and the wounded, the United States Army, in common with other armies, has resorted to various forms of transport ranging from animal and motor-drawn ambulances to hospital trains, vessels, and airplanes—all designed to bring the patients to a place where they can receive adequate medical attention. The purpose of this brief account is to describe the complex process of evacuation solely as it involves water transportation and, more particularly, the use during the current conflict of Army hospital ships enjoying a protected status under international agreements. Important though their role is, it should be understood at the outset that Army hospital ships return to the United States only a small portion of the sick and wounded of the armed forces. Practically every returning Army transport carries patients; and the Air Transport Command, Army Air Forces, brings back the sick and wounded regularly by airplane. Moreover, in addition to its own fleet of convention-protected hospital ships, the Navy utilizes hospital spaces on its own transports for the evacuation of patients by water. For evacuation by air the Navy relies upon the Naval Air Transportation Service.
