In Tunisia’s front lines, evac hospital staff from Roosevelt Hospital in New York and a mobile surgical unit work amid ceasefires and battles. They endure harsh conditions, wear GI gear, and endure long hours while caring for wounded men. They request cleansing creams, tissues, fountain pens, shampoos, and underwear, and earn 186 dollars monthly after mess deductions. The nurses’ quiet, austere existence includes rolling bandages, sewing, and writing letters as war wears on.

By mid-1944, pipelines may lift output, but car round trips lengthen, keeping risk of shortages high.
