NEW ME UNITS
ARE VERY MOBILE


These Me units must be highly
mobile. They are organized to be
clearing stations for casualties.
The Charlotte unit. like other
units, is composed Of four medical
administrative officers, 40 doctors,
SO registered graduate nurses and
ais enlisted men. They have the
equipment. food. tents and per-
sonnet to set up business within an
hour at any new stand
The doctors are the finest spe-
cialists obtainable and a soldier
suffering anything from shrapnel
wounds to tuberculosis is slated for
the most expert treatment.
The 31s enlisted men include
hospital orderlies. druggists. x-ray
experts and other specialists.
Currently, office s and men of
these units are in the tents on the
sloping hillside of one stretch of
English meadowland. The nurses
are billeted nearly 20 miles away
in buildings which belong to an
other hospital unit.
This doubling up viii be over
in a matter of weeks, however.
and then officers, nurses and en-
listed men of Charlotte and the
surrounding area, who sailed not
so long ago on their journey to
war, will be together once again.
The extreme cordiality of the
British towards arriving Ameri-
cans has impressed this Charlotte
group. Captain Stanton Pickens,
