The hospital took its personnel from Base Hospitals Nos. 52, 58, 59, and 64. Nine days after the November 11, 1918 cease-fire this base was set up as a special hospital for eye, ear, nose, and throat, skin and genitourinary diseases, and contained the central laboratory and morgue. It was the fifth base hospital to join the Rimaucourt hospital center, where it occupied a type A, 1,000-bed hospital.
