A U.S. Army Medical Base in World War I France

During World War I over 63,000 American soldiers received treatment for wounds or disease at the US Army Bazoilles Hospital Center. This book describes daily life and medical care at the hospital providing the reader with a vivid picture of what conditions were like for both patients and medical personnel.  Nothing in the small village of Bazoilles-sur-Meuse in the northeast of France bears witness today to the 13,000-bed Bazoilles Hospital Center located there during World War I. Yet in 1918-1919 more than 63,000 American soldiers received treatment there--three out of every 100 U.S. servicemen and women who served in Europe. This richly illustrated history describes daily life and medical care at Bazoilles, providing a vivid picture of the conditions for both patients and personnel, along with stories of those who worked there, and those who were treated or died there.
