Wounded From
France Receive
Expert Care

On the blue pajamas of wounded
men lying in hospital beds at
United Kingdom base, a United
States army colonel carefully pin
ned purple heart-shaped medals
bearing the profile Of George Wash
ington. Then he shook hands with
the men, and smiles showed on
their serious faces Present dur
ing the scene was Sgt William
Lazuk of Florence, a member of
the hospital staff.
"We1l have you out of those beds
soon," the colonel said. You'll be
up and around again" He spoke
confidently. and his confidence was
returned by the wounded men.
Many of them severe injuries. All
of them had been through heavy
fighting, had suffered shock and
wounds, and had passed through
days of pain. Yet all of them had
begun to move along the road to
recovery.
Colonel John W. Rich, command
ing officer of the U. S. Army gen.
eral hospital where these men were
patients, could speak hopefully
when he presented them the Purple
Heart. The records of his smoothly
running hospital, a record of swift
and efficient care, was behind his
words.
Ambulances carrying litter teams
rush to the railroad station when
hospital trains are routed to the
station. A few ambulances are al
ways available at the hospital.
Other ambulances are drawn from
the pool maintained by the medical
center to which the hospital is at
tached.
Sometimes patients are received
from sky ambulances, and these
men carried by air from France ar
rive without any notice at all.
Physicians, nurses and enlisted
men cheerfully meet these emerg-
encies.
Seven operating tables are avail
able for use under ordinary con-
ditions, and this number can be
expanded to II or IA if necessary.
Another operating room has been
set aside for surgical work in the
event that the regular theaters are
put out of commission by some
catastrophe.
