British Headquarters In France, June
22.-(By the associated press Amer
lean doctors. nurses and enlisted men
within the last fortnight have taken
over six of the British great general

can surgeons also rendered valuable
aid in the forward casualty clearing

The Stars and Stripes fly with the
British Union Jack from each hospital
flagstaff.
The British selected their hospital
sites with the greatest care and have
developed them with a completeness
that has come from nearly three years
of field experience. Some of the gem
eral hospitals are made up of tented
wards accommodating 40 to 60 beds
ach. Others are constructed of a Sc =
ries of houses. The operating tables
are splendidly built and seem to lack
nothing in the way of special equip
ment
Originally planned for 1,0i0 beds
each. the general hospitals have been
practically all enlarged to 400 beds
and during a crisis can accommodate
1000 patients. The units which have
taken over the various hospitals were
organized by the American Red Cross
