Transfer and Care at Field Hospital Dispatches
September 20. It is cold tonight as we gather in our rooms with Walker and McGuire. The hospital is full with hundreds of patients nearly well and ready to transfer. I am busy preparing slips and field cards recording each case and the surgeon’s actions as we arrange train movements. The men here are long-time patients, making departures bittersweet.
