Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Johns Hopkins Alumni Magazine, Vol. 8: November, 1919 June, 1920 In spite of this, much irregularity will no doubt be noticed, and possibly some important facts are entirely omitted. It will be borne in mind by the reader, however, that this pamphlet does not pretend to be a work of literature, but simply an historical record of the outstanding events connected with Base Hospital No. 18. The story of the Unit as a whole will be told first, and afterward special articles dealing with the various activities in which the members of this unit engaged are presented by the men who took part in these special activities. Along toward the middle of May, in the year 1917, as a result of the visit to the U. S. A. of the French Mission headed by General Joffre, the urgent necessity for the immediate dispatch of an American Expeditionary Force to the assistance of the values became at once apparent. Unfortunately, at that time the United States, owing to the lack of preparation due to the neutral position occupied by them since the beginning of the war, were in no position to do more than send a comparatively small force for its moral rather than its military effect. In order to respond to this call, great activity was immediately begun in all branches of the War Department and the Navy as well. Those were busy days in Washington, with many representative men in all walks of life, from all sections of the country, summoned thither for their advice and counsel. The Medical Department found itself in the same general position as the other branches of the military service. It had been generally understood that this first expeditionary force was to be composed entirely of Regulars. But for one reason or another, almost at the last moment, it was decided to call upon the Medical Reserves to the extent of the personnel of one Base Hospital to look after the sick and wounded of the First Division of the overseas troops.
