Introduction & Activation:

The 136th Station Hospital was officially activated 15 August 1942 at Camp Barkeley, Abilene, Texas (Armored Division Camp, and later Medical Replacement Training Center –ed), per G.O. No. 14. Activation took place after arrival of a cadre consisting of one Officer; Major Stanley S. Tanz, MC, O-330067, and 25 Enlisted Men, all from the Station Hospital at Bolling Field, Army Air Force Base, Washington D.C.

Quarters were initially provided in temporary tentage, subsequently changed to wooden barracks, off the main parade grounds, on or about 7 October 1942. Additional Officer personnel were received as follows: Lt. Colonel Joseph D. Stout, MC, 0-215631, joined 10 October, and assumed command of the unit 12 October 1942. The other Officers (12 MC & DC) joined between 21 October and 6 November 1942, with an additional increment of 104 EM and Technicians assigned between 29 September and 4 November 1942 from William Beaumont General Hospital and MRTC Camp Barkeley, Texas.
The Unit was a 750-bed Zone of Communications Hospital, based on T/O 8-560, War Department, dated 22 July 1942, column #17 (out of 23 columns).

75 Nurses
392 Enlisted Men
6 ¾-ton Ambulances
1 5-passenger Light Sedan Car
2 ¼-ton Trucks
1 ¾-ton Weapon Carrier
2 1 ½-ton Cargo Trucks
2 2 ½-ton Cargo trucks
1 2 ½-ton Dump Truck
(as per T/O  following civilian personnel were required: 1 Head Dietitian, 2 Dietitians,
1 Head Physical Therapy Aide, 2 Physical Therapy Aides, 2 Seamstresses)

During its early phases of activation at Camp Barkeley, the organization’s training was often interrupted by weekly changes in quarters, necessitated by new construction in the camp. The unit was thus, at various times, quartered in M-1934 pyramid tents, a mess hall, and in wooden cantonments. The latter were properly ventilated and insulated and heated by gas stoves. Because of its small size, the unit’s messing was handled together with the 37th Station Hospital located approximately a half mile from Headquarters. Sanitary facilities, water supply, bathing, laundry, and insect control were rendered by the Station Hospital and were available within the camp area.

Training:

A Training Program in accordance with MTP 8-10 and verbal directives of the CO, 8th Hospital Center, and of the Surgeon, Camp Barkeley, Texas, was inaugurated immediately on activation. Training consisted of lectures, demonstrations, field exercises, and hospital ward and office practice.

During the training period, the 136th Station received its first transportation. One staff car, 1 jeep, 1 weapon carrier, 1 cargo truck, and 3 ambulances were put at the unit’s disposal. Much organizational and T/BA equipment was also received based on requisition.

On 1 November 1942, the unit received a warning order for movement on a permanent change of station to Camp Edwards, Falmouth, Massachusetts (Antiaircraft Artillery Training Center –ed). All Enlisted Men were removed from service in the Camp Barkeley Station Hospital, and more Enlisted personnel who had just completed Basic Training joined the unit from MRTC Camp Barkeley, Texas, and William Beaumont General Hospital, Texas.

Change of Station:

On 6 November 1942, it was 1500 hours, the organization left Camp Barkeley and entrained (in Pullman coaches) for Camp Edwards, Massachusetts. An advance party of 7 Officers and 132 Enlisted Men had already left. 8 Officers traveled by private conveyance. The unit reported at Camp Edwards, Falmouth, Massachusetts at 0700 hours, 10 November 1942.

Total personnel of the 136th Station Hospital at the time consisted of 11 Medical Corps Officers – 4 Dental Corps Officers – and 132 Enlisted Men (no Nurses).

On arrival at its new station, the organization was assigned to the Evacuation Hospital Area, which was shared with personnel from the 57th General Hospital. This area, situated near the Camp Station Hospital in the northwest section of the camp, was 6 acres in size and contained 24 wooden buildings covered with tar paper and all heated either by cannon or space heaters utilizing soft coal for fuel. The area taken over was of new construction and entirely undeveloped except for the buildings. It consisted of much low ground with poor drainage which tended to collect rain water in large quantities, remaining muddy for days. Immediate construction of marked cinder walks and outside improvements was started. Tables and benches, not available, had to be specially constructed.
Immediately on arrival, plans and training were initiated for implementation of the MTP 8-10 training schedules in all medical specialties. Officers were assigned as instructors, and first classes were held on 16 November 1942. Many training aids being unavailable, the men had to improvise and build items such as black boards, tables, dental lights, dummy x-ray machines, visual aids, drawings, screens, etc. Unit personnel was augmented with the arrival of 57 more Enlisted Men from various Army Reception Centers; they were assigned to the technical and clerical classes, and immediately started training. Supplementary training was started for the trained elements of the unit, with many being assigned to the Station Hospital for duty in wards. In anticipation of its operational needs, men were further assigned to the personnel office and registrar at the Camp Station Hospital for experience.

A permanent mess was organized and set up the day after arrival at the camp, and while individual mess kits had to be used at the beginning, chinaware was finally furnished by the Camp Quartermaster after 15 November 1942. Food was good, well cooked, and considered to be sufficient in amount and variety. Rations were drawn daily from the camp. Athletic equipment, recreational facilities, etc. were all provided for.
Physical conditioning was emphasized by group calisthenics, drills, and marches. Meanwhile the outlined program of 13 weeks of training was shortened to 11 weeks. On 20 December 1942, after classes were well organized in MTP 8-10 for the EM, the Officers classes were started. No more training equipment shortages occurred. Unit supply functioned smoothly and except for some unobtainable items such as overshoes, no personnel shortages of supplies were encountered.
The unit’s first MTP 8-10 Training Program was progressing smoothly and scheduled to end on 10 February 1943.

At years’s end, 31 December 1942, the personnel, still under command of Lt. Colonel Joseph D. Stout, MC, O-215631, consisted of:

13 Medical Officers
4 Dental Corps Officers
6 Medical Administrative Corps Officers
1 Sanitary Corps Officer
2 Corps of Chaplains Officers
191 Enlisted Men
(still no Nurses)

Field exercises were carried out at frequent intervals between November 1942 and July 1943, including pitching of ward tents, pyramid tents, and individual shelter halves, and establishment of overnight bivouacs. Field messing, gas training, protection against air attack, field camouflage, maintenance of supply, principles of dispersion, protective shelter and trench construction, field sanitation, and other subjects were taught during the many field exercises. On top of these came map reading, field orientation, use of compass, carried out for Officers and Noncommissioned Officers. Nothing was forgotten, with additional classes on clerical and administrative duties. Training inspections were regularly conducted by representatives of the First Service Command and Medical Inspectors.

Between end of 1942 and 19 May 1943, additional EM personnel was received from MRTC Camp Barkeley, Abilene, Texas; Camp Grant, Rockford, Illinois; and Camp Picket, Blackstone, Virginia.
The very first increment of Nurses was received on 27 May 1943, including the Principal Chief Nurse and 30 other members of the Army Nurse Corps. Additional ANC Officers were assigned 29 and 30 June 1943, reaching a total of 75 Nurses. One Dietitian and 3 American Red Cross workers reported for duty on 17 July 1943.

On 19 August 1943the aggregate of the 136th Station Hospital personnel read: 41 Officers – 75 Nurses – 1 Dietitian – 3 ARC workers – 383 Enlisted Men (total: 503).

Approximately 1 July 1943, by arrangement with the Camp Edwards Commanding Officer, all personnel, including Officers and Enlisted Men went through the infiltration course under live fire. Gas masks, steel helmets, and light packs were mandatory during this exercise. The obstacle course was used for training by about 50% of the command. Two cadres from the 136th were supplied for the 564th and 608th Medical Hospital Ship Platoons, and a separate cadre for a 750-bed Station Hospital was kept available at all times.

Preparation for Overseas Movement (POM):

In accordance with alert orders received ten days in advance, the unit packed its basic and designated equipment in accordance with lists received from the CO, Port of Embarkation. Non-essential equipment, vehicles, and other equipment were turned back to supply sources.
The 136th Sta Hosp moved to the Staging Area, Port of Embarkation, by train 21 July 1943, clearing Camp Edwards at 0600 hours. The unit arrived at the POE at 1600 hours the same day. The train equipment consisted of 8 passenger coaches and 1 baggage car. Wrapped lunches and purchased ice cream were served en route. The Staging Area comprised 7 wooden barracks, 1 latrine, 1 supply building, and 1 headquarters building. During the period lasting 30 days in which this area was occupied by the unit, extensive rock-bordered paths were constructed, including walks adjacent to the buildings. Officers were quartered in 2 buildings, while all female personnel were housed in a restricted area, approximately 1,000 yards from unit Headquarters. Personnel were re-equipped for overseas, trained, inoculated, identified, and messed under camp control.
All summer clothing was turned in and replaced by wool uniforms, including underwear, and impregnated fatigues. Field ranges gas cans were duly inspected and emptied, then repacked. During its stay at the Staging Area, the organization was provided with 2 command & reconnaissance trucks and 1 jeep. A certain amount of recreation was provided, including athletics and movies. Overnight passes, to the extent of half of the personnel, were used continually.

The command moved by train from its Staging Area (secret), Port of Embarkation (secret), to the dock (secret), by train and ferry, clearing the camp at 2100 hours, 19 August 1943 (Camp Shanks, Orangeburg, New York, Staging Area for the New York Port of Embarkation –ed). Embarkation for overseas took place at 2300 hours, 20 August 1943, and was prompt and without incident.

United Kingdom (1943):

The transport vessel (secret) was occupied by numerous other units, and duration of the voyage was (secret) days. All alarms, alerts, and other training activities were operated by the transport Commander (RMS “Queen Elizabeth” –ed). En route, several entertainments for the benefit of the Enlisted Men were held, both by the ship’s personnel, and by the unit’s personnel. Arrival at destination (secret) in the United Kingdom took place on 27 August 1943.
Debarkation in 2 separate detachments, at (secret) occurred without notable comments at 0800 and 1600 hours respectively. Baggage was unloaded by a transport detail, and forwarded to units at the final destination (secret). The unit entrained immediately and moved to its destination (secret) at approximately 1400 hours, the same day. Movement was uneventful, with one stop for hot food at 0800 hours, 28 August. The organization detrained and was moved a distance of three miles by motor convoy supplied by a nearby Engineer Battalion.

The 136th Station Hospital opened for reception of patients 14 September 1943, at Acton Place, Sudbury, Suffolk, England, APO 589.

Satisfactory quarters for all personnel were available on arrival. Two separate unit messes were opened, including one for Officers and Nurses, and one for Enlisted personnel. Hospital buildings were complete, although the area was still occupied by the British contractor who was completing the construction. The period between arrival – 27 August 1943, and opening of the Hospital – 14 September 1943, was occupied by preparation of the buildings, distribution of the supplies, and in training for operation.
The total area comprised 112 acres, 56 of which were under Hospital control. 28 buildings were available for use as hospital wards, with additional ones in the area reserved for surgery, laboratory, dental clinics, EENT clinic, admission and disposition, ambulance loading, Headquarters, post office, tailor & barber shop, patients’ mess, recreation, theater, PX, and American Red Cross.
Adjacent to the Hospital area, one brick building, capable of housing 50 Nurses and 7 additional TO buildings for Nurses and other female personnel were provided. Other buildings housed the Officers’ club and the Enlisted Men’s mess. 9 additional huts adjacent to the Nurses’ quarters and one large mess hall, designated canteen were also made available. In the Enlisted area, a great total of 33 Nissen huts, each capable of housing 16 EM were provided. 4 more buildings equipped with lavatories, ablution areas, and latrines were situated in the same area.

The following Officers were in charge of the different Professional Services at the 136th Station Hospital:

Lt. Colonel Augustus H. Lancaster, MC, O-486636, Chief of Medical Service
Major John J. Brick, MC, O-1691005, Chief of Surgical Service (transferred 8 March 1944)

1st Lieutenant John J. Larkin, Jr., MC, O-512392, Chief of Laboratory Service
1st Lieutenant Helen M. Thomae, ANC, N-701793, Chief of Nursing Service

During the period 14 September to 31 December 1943, 2,560 outpatients were given a total of 3,512 treatments and 1,714 cases were admitted to the 136th Sta Hosp. Of this total, 932 patients were surgical cases, including only 23 battle casualties, 14 bicycle accidents, and 30 traffic accidents. 34 major surgical operations were performed. Among the 782 patients admitted for medical service were 32 VD cases.

During this period, 32 air raid alerts occurred, but no bombs were dropped in the immediate area or nearer than a distance of five miles. The attempted target was the USAAF airbase, Chilton Station AAF-174.
Routine training of all personnel, including Officers, Nurses, and Enlisted personnel continued throughout the year, although inclement weather often interfered with outdoor training. Dry runs were regularly scheduled with participation by all departments to constitute a test of reaction and operation during a specific period of 1 ½ to 2 hours while patients were being admitted in rapid succession. Three such exercises were held in 1943. The Commanding Officer, the Heads of Departments, Officers, and Nurses participated in general and specialized conferences, to which nearby-stationed Medical Officers were invited. To keep the men in a good physical shape, PT was provided in the gymnasium two hours daily, and a road march held twice a week.

Relationships between British civilian and military organizations and personnel of this Post were particularly cordial. Receptions were organized with invitation of guests from the civilian community and adjacent British military units and organizations. Many Officers and Enlisted Men were frequently invited for personal visits to the homes of British people. Formal entertainment was afforded the British civilians, including a grand Christmas party for approximately 275 children. Enlisted Men were able to arrange four parties, including three dances, and one vaudeville show. British Medical Officers were invited for lectures, with more exchange lectures arranged. The Hospital staff set up visits to adjacent British military and civilian Hospitals.
Some of the required equipment only arrived piecemeal. The one on hand included 4 Chest, Medical Department, No. 60 with extra instruments, a dental x-ray machine, and the appropriate items to set up a dark room to develop x-ray films. The dental laboratory had meanwhile been equipped to perform denture repair.

Lt. Colonel Augustus H. Lancaster, MC, O-486636, assumed acting command on 6 November 1944, as per telephonic orders from Headquarters, VII Hospital Group, APO 559, until 5 December 1944 (he joined the Hospital 29 October 1942 –ed). Colonel George Edward Lindow, MC, O-10845, was assigned to and joined the 136th Station Hospital on 6 December 1942. He became the new CO on 6 December 1944.

Location:
From 1 January 1944, the Hospital operated at Acton Place (a former estate), Sudbury, Suffolk, England, under the District Surgeon’s Office. Per authority of Letter Order, File AG 322 (17), Headquarters United Kingdom Base, 11 November 1944, the 136th Station Hospital was assigned to the VII Hospital Group (Provisional) for administration and coordination of evacuation of patients.

Organization Strength:

31 December 1943	117 Officers	394 Enlisted Men
31 January 1944	128 Officers	400 Enlisted Men
29 February 1944	130 Officers	400 Enlisted Men
31 March 1944	128 Officers	401 Enlisted Men
30 April 1944	129 Officers	399 Enlisted Men
31 May 1944	122 Officers	400 Enlisted Men

30 November 1944	108 Officers	434 Enlisted Men
31 December 1944	105 Officers	381 Enlisted Men

The unit was operating in accordance with T/O 8-560, as amended, dated 22 July 1942, with the following complement:

40 Medical Officers
75 ANC Officers (actual figure 74)
1 Warrant Officer
2 Physiotherapists (later reduced to 1)
2 Dietitians (later reduced to 1)
392 Enlisted Men (actual figure 394)

(in May of 1944, the nursing strength was reduced from 75 to 63 in accordance with Change 3, T/O 8-560, dated 4 March 1944. War Department Circular No. 201, dated 22 May 1944, reduced the T/O strength of the EM from 392 to 371. Another WD Circular No. 327, dated 8 August 1944, assigned 1 extra MAC Officer, reducing the staff of MC Officers to 23 and increasing the MAC strength to 10).

General Situation:
During the 1944 period, 119 enemy air raid alerts occurred. No bombs were however dropped in the area occupied by the Hospital. One V-1 fell approximately 1,000 yards distant but no damage was incurred by the organization. A number of V-1 and V-2 flying bombs hit within a radius of twenty-five miles but none ever landed in the immediate vicinity of the Hospital.

General Operations:
On 15 June 1944, the bed status was expanded from 834 to 1,254 by the addition of 28 wards accommodating 15 patients each. This expansion was in compliance with a Letter from the Office of The Surgeon Headquarters, dated 12 December 1943. During the current year, the permanent Hospital staff was augmented by Officers, Nurses, and Enlisted Technicians from various units such as Medical Hospital Ship Platoons, Quartermaster Laundry Platoons, Army Ground Forces Replacement Depots, and personnel from adjacent USAAF Airfields. The work force of 36 British civilians played a cooperative part in the maintenance of the 136th Station Hospital, serving as telephonists, clerks, and maintenance and housekeeping personnel. Before D-Day, numerous Commissioned and Enlisted personnel of the unit were placed on DS doing dispensary and other routine medical examination of troops. Other members were placed on DS to the invasion troops about to leave for France.

Apart from its authorized T/E strength, the organization had 8 British ambulances which functioned as part of an emergency ambulance pool. Laundry, mail, supplies, had to be hauled with the limited transportation resources. There were no train deliveries of large quantities of merchandise, so that all rations and supplies had to be picked up by the unit’s organic transportation. One British truck on loan traveled 36 miles once weekly for the purpose of bringing in the necessary rations.

During 1944, a total of 18 Hospital Trains were received. This necessitated the use of 15 to 40 vehicles (depending on the number of casualties). Due to a policy of mutual aid and assistance between nearby units, vehicles of the command participated in loading and unloading 44 Hospital Trains during the past year. As the Hospital had to operate independently it caused the personnel to be distributed more thinly over a greater number of departments. In order to give the patients the proper care they rightfully deserved (increased patients census following D-Day and combat operations on the continent –ed), the circumstances prompted a reduction of personnel used as security force, fire guard, and in policing and housing duties. When two groups of 29 EM were attached to the Hospital for training, they did much to relieve the general situation, as they and members from the Medical Hospital Ship Platoons were assigned temporary jobs. Even convalescent patients were given some jobs throughout the Hospital in keeping with their physical condition and grade. General Assignment men were replaced by Limited Assignment personnel of whom the majority had been inadequately trained to qualify as replacements for the MOS required. It was nevertheless felt that the present allotted personnel was not considered adequate to operate a 1,254-bed station hospital over an extended period of time, but was sufficient to function for short emergencies. With a larger medical installation to operate, the Hospital was authorized (after August 1944) to act as a General Hospital, to elect its own surgery methods and to board patients for their return to the Zone of Interior.

Education and Training:
A regular program was continued throughout the year. Class work, lectures, and actual experience in wards and departments as well as dry run exercises kept the personnel well informed and ready for any emergency. Reception and evacuation exercises helped handle the mass casualties that were admitted. British surgeons gave conferences on war surgery, while American Officers briefed their RAMC colleagues on penicillin therapy.
The EM’s training consisted of 10 hours of classes each week in the following subjects: calisthenics, drill, camouflage, defense against chemical and air attacks, sanitation, and first aid. An NCO School in military leadership was held throughout the month of July. “Army Talks” sessions were held each Monday morning and evening, and informal group discussions set up in the Enlisted Men’s recreation building, with Nurses also attending. Sex morality lectures were given twice weekly by the CO, the Chaplain, and the VD Control Officer.
Officers attended 2 hours of classes each week including themes as field problems, military courtesy, discipline, law, financial, and professional subjects. They also followed fifteen minutes of calisthenics and drill on a daily basis. The Nurses received 3 hours of classes a week consisting of many technical subjects relating to their daily work, supplemented by drill, calisthenics, and military courtesy and discipline. More informal conferences, meetings, rehearsals, and many exercises were held on a regular basis, including gas mask drill, fire drills, and construction and operation of a field kitchen (built from scrap).

Supplies, Equipment, and Transportation:
Medical and Quartermaster supplies were received on requisition and were always adequate. Prior to D-Day supplies were available and readily obtainable at nearby depots. However, the closing of depots in the UK (in view of the forthcoming D-Day operations –ed) affected the availability of certain supplies and required longer hauls.
The authorized vehicles only numbered 1 staff car, 1 jeep, 3 cargo trucks, and 3 ambulances which could not support full mobility of the organization if necessary. Some vehicles were supplemented by British Austin ambulances, and by borrowed means of transportation.  Trips took time and sometimes affected the availability of the unit’s organic vehicles. For example, a laundry trip took 68 miles; a mail trip represented 40 miles; a maintenance & repair truck traveled 40 miles a day; a trip to the dry cleaning station represented 70 miles; a trip to haul rations cost 90 miles, etc.

Conservation of Materials:
Food wastage was prevented by means of regular controls effected by an assigned NCO. Coal and lights were conserved by strict compliance with directives from higher Headquarters. Bathing of patients only took place at designated hours. All wooden crates were stocked and utilized for building shelves, desks, tables, and file cabinets. Screened ashes were used for road filling and pathways around the Hospital area.

Housing, Heat, and Water Supply:
Both Officers and Enlisted Men were housed in MOW Nissen huts excluding a number of Nurses who were quartered in the mansion of the Estate. Proper heating within the scope of adequate fuel conservation and manpower was a major problem (certainly during winter). Comfort and health of the patients was always maintained, at the cost of many manhours. Housekeeping tasks and water heating units functioning was duly taken care of by a detail of 11 EM supplemented by a British team of 6 civilian boilermen. A total of 353 stoves, 13 boilers, 3 furnaces, 3 high-pressure steam boilers, 14 (British) kitchen ranges, and 16 open-grate fire places had to be kept operational at all times.
Water was sourced to a well, 140 feet deep, equipped with an electric pump with a capacity of 8,000 gallons per hour. Two storage tanks with a 56,000 gallon capacity were installed to supply all parts of the Post. In case of emergency, there was an additional water source at the village of Long Melford. Daily consumption was 55,000 gallons per day.

Food and Messing, Sewage and Waste Disposal, and Insect Control:
The patients mess began to feel the rising patient census after the invasion of the continent, causing quite a burden to the personnel. A diet kitchen functioned under the supervision of the Hospital Dietitian.
Enlisted Men and Officers’ Mess operated under normal conditions. Two buildings were used for central food storage and for vegetables storage. Food and food supplies were obtained from and delivered by the nearby Quartermaster Depot until the last part of December 1944 when it closed. Greens were received every other day; also fruits and fruit juices were issued as prescribed.

The sewage was evacuated through a pipe-borne underground system. It was efficiently provided with a pumping station, one preliminary sedimentation tank, two trickling fillers, two final sedimentation tanks, eight sludge beds and a wooded area containing rock-filled channels for dispersion. Farmers collected the sludge for use as a fertilizer on their fields. Four outside grease traps were proven satisfactory but not too efficient. The grease collected from the kitchens was turned over to the British Salvage. Refuse from the kitchens was collected on a daily basis by British civilian contractors. Trash was collected by a Post detail and dumped at a nearby community ground.

The sanitary department personnel inspected all buildings on a monthly basis for the presence of infestation by insects. No cockroaches, lice, or other insects were encountered. During the summer months, the European Earwig caused considerable annoyance by infesting the living quarters. Daily cleaning of barracks, airing of bed clothes and linen, and frequent changes of straw in paliases helped solve the problem.
Fly traps, fly papers, and poisons were extensively used. All kitchens were screened (farming district with many flies). Occasional swarms of wasps and bees caused some annoyance with a number of personnel being stung.

Venereal Disease Control:
In 1944 the command reported 6 cases of gonorrhea but no new cases of syphilis. Twenty-three days were lost as a result of VD. Control measures were implemented throughout the year, consisting of periodic lectures by the CO, the VD Officer, and the Chaplain. Pro-kits were available to all men (free issue) upon going on pass or furlough.
Prevention methods for infection were demonstrated and routine monthly physical inspections of all EM were carried out with emphasis placed on detection of unreported cases of Venereal Disease. The Pro-Station was in operation 24 hours daily. During the year 1944, 93 prophylactic treatments were administered.

Professional Medical and Surgical Services:
Formal ward rounds were held each week and medical meetings of the combined staffs monthly. Radiology and laboratory sections held conferences on interesting radiological and clinical-pathological cases with guests from nearby American and British Army installations attending. Two special conferences were organized on the different aspects of penicillin. Exhibitions, demonstrations, classes, and visits, were attended at various times, either at higher Headquarters or at the American School Center. Medical Officers and Nurses were often sent on DS from 10 to 30 days to other installations, while personnel of other units were assigned to the 136th for identical purposes.

7,990 patients were admitted to the Hospital during the year, with 14,285 outpatients receiving a total of 18,810 treatments. Since receiving authorization to board patients, a total of 797 wounded were effectively returned to the Zone of Interior.
4,975 patients were admitted for miscellaneous diseases. Some remarkable new kinds of ailments or diseases were observed, such as 17 TB cases; 305 NP cases; and 288 trench foot cases. A total of 859 injuries were noted, while battle casualties received totaled 2,156.

The first Hospital Train with casualties arrived from the continent on 16 July 1944. It should be noted that the surgical procedure in effect at the 136th consisted of the routine type of surgery permitted in Station Hospitals, plus the surgical care of battle casualties from the neighboring airfields. United States Army Air Forces battle casualties of whom there were 278, mainly consisted of flak wounds, bullet wounds, burns, and injuries sustained in aircraft crashes. A total of 1,705 battle wounded were received from the continent. As time went on, the casualties received were older, and many wounds and injuries required treatment for varying periods of time before closure was possible. Burns were treated by gentle washing and irrigation, followed by sulfadiazine ointment and an occlusive pressure dressing. Wounds were treated according to directives and procedures; and all were thoroughly debrided and left open. Sulfa powder and penicillin, after they became available, were placed in the wounds initially. Introduction of the new penicillin drug helped with the efficient treatment of pneumonia, VD, wounds and infections. Abdominal wounds were numerous, traction was used extensively, skin graft was applied, and if possible new medical and surgical methods were introduced or improved.

A total of 2,889 surgical operations were performed, including general surgery, orthopedics, and urology.

Nursing, Dental, and Veterinary Services:
The 63 Nurses had to cover 28 wards night and day and therefore worked longer hours than normal. During the first part of 1944, when the hospital census was low, a great many Nurses spent many hours in training programs in nursing peculiar to the Hospital’s setup. Classes were also held in the treatment of shocks, administration of whole blood and plasma, therapy of penicillin, emergency of flak cases, and general admission and care of battle casualties. Nurses who showed aptitude or interest were trained in central supply, surgery, anesthetics, burn wards, and other ‘specialties’. This proved very valuable when the patient load suddenly increased and remained heavy to the end of the year.

The dental service catered to the needs of the hospital patients, the personnel, and varying needs of nearby units. The first priority was that all patients returning to duty received a full and complete dental care before being discharged; the second priority was extended to the Hospital personnel; the third priority was given to those patients destined for evacuation to the ZI. A total of 20,354 operations/treatments were performed during the year, with 1,135 outpatients from other units treated.

One Tec 4 Enlisted Man, trained in food, meat and dairy hygiene, conducted routine class 5 and 7 inspections of all foodstuffs received from QMC Depots for all messes in the Hospital area.

Reception and Evacuation:
Admissions were routine, except for the occasional rush due to AAF battle casualties. When patients were to be boarded for the ZI, evacuation was by ambulance or hospital train. Patients returned to duty through their local organizations were transported via an ambulance of their own unit.
From July 1944, the entire picture changed and reception, disposition, and evacuation of patients became a major problem from both the medical and administrative viewpoint. After arrival of the first hospital train with casualties from France (16 July 1944), an average of 2 hospital trains a month were received for the rest of 1944. The average number of patients received with each train was 270. These patients were brought in from the continent, and evacuated from transit hospitals in the southwest part of England, and then further evacuated to the 136th Station. Approximate time taken to unload a hospital train of 270 patients until they were bedded in the respective wards was 1 hour and 15 minutes. Due to the influx of casualties from the continent, the census trebled in a very short time and it became imperative for the organization to establish and maintain a fluid system of evacuation. More administration work had to be done and completed prior to transfer of patients. Clothing had to be issued in certain cases, temporary service records had to be initialled, special orders had to be issued. The majority of the evacuees were sent to a General Hospital about 30 miles from the Post. This was done by ambulance it being impractical to use a hospital train for the short haul. The majority of these cases were patients who would eventually be boarded for the ZI or for surgical treatment which the 136th could not furnish. 50 transfers per week was the average number.

In the middle of October 1944, the 136th Station was authorized to function as a General Hospital and board its own patients for the Zone of Interior. However, about a month later, upon being assigned to the VII US Hospital Group (Provisional) for administrative purposes, patients could only be evacuated upon the order of the Hospital Group. This brought about an accumulation of patients until a sufficient number were ready for disposition. Each evacuation presented a problem as frequently the method of evacuation (sea or air) was unknown until the last minute.
In order to avoid loss of time, unnecessary strain and clerical problems, the following plan was successfully devised:

• all patients were fed before leaving the Hospital
• all ambulatory patients were gathered together at the patients’ mess where they were properly tagged and furnished with the necessary papers
• all litter patients were loaded in ambulances through the A and D Office, enabling the Hospital to  load 50 litter cases in 45 minutes from the time they were first picked up on the ward

Return of patients to duty, not truly an evacuation problem, did present difficulties. The Hospital returned approximately 50 patients a week to duty through the Replacement Pool. Instead of returning 6 or 7 patients per day to duty via the pool they were accumulated until Friday of each week. Arrangements were then made with the RTO for train reservations. Previous experience showed that combat personnel returning to a Replacement Depot were often inclined to go AWOL en route and to take unauthorized delays. The plan to send them in large groups under proper supervision of a high-ranking NCO cut the delinquency to a minimum and facilitated their reception at the Replacement Pool.

Welfare, American Red Cross, Religion and Sports:
The Officers and Nurses’ Club was re-decorated during January 1944 and murals painted in one of the rooms. Also the reading and game room was re-painted, and various rugs and a new radio added. A library containing about 1,000 volumes of fiction was obtained. Dances were held once a month with music provided by the Enlisted Men’s Band. Cribbage tournaments were organized twice a month.

A building formerly used by the British construction company was made available to the EM and turned into a recreation room. The conversion was completed on 14 February 1944 and inaugurated with a formal opening dance. The floor space, representing some 6,800 square feet, proved adequate for a large dance floor, a stage for an orchestra, a lounge, a game room, or a gymnasium.
Dances were held each Saturday night and female companions were obtained from the town of Long Melford, Sudbury, Colchester, Glemsford, British WAAF, and US WAC Detachments. Music was provided by a 9-piece EM’s band which started performing from 1 March 1944. The orchestra played four times for British dances and also performed in the Officers’ Club. It played for outside audiences at the “Salute the Soldier” exhibition in Long Melford and Sudbury in the summer.
Motion pictures were shown twice nightly, except on Mondays, at the Post theater. Card parties and bingo nights were organized twice a month. USO shows performed at the Post once every 2 or 3 months, with visits from George Raft, James Cagney, Ella Logan, and Joe Louis.

The ARC personnel assigned to the 136th consisted of: 1 Assistant Field Director; 1 Senior Recreation Worker; 1 Recreation Worker; 1 Secretary; and 2 additional British Civilian Workers. Their tasks consisted in assisting patients by writing letters, supplying them comfort packages, providing recreational and social activities and sightseeing tours to nearby towns. In the current year they handled 503 cases of personal family problems.

Religious services were provided by one Catholic and one Protestant Chaplain. Chaplains of other faiths were invited and held services in the Hospital’s Chapel at designated times. In addition to the patients and personnel, both Chaplains were called to hold services at the adjacent Army Air Forces Airfields whenever needed.
The 136th was honored with a visit by Archbishop Francis J. Spellman, Military Ordinariate of the Catholic Chaplains and Vicar of US Armed Forces, on 6 September 1944, when he was touring the United Kingdom (part of his 3-month European tour –ed).

From 1 January 1944 to 31 March 1944 the EM basketball team played twice weekly against other service teams. Annual ping-pong tournaments were held as well and boxing exhibitions took place. Two softball ‘diamonds’ were constructed during April and May. Competition tours occurred from May to July 1944. Later, two volleyball courts were added and 4 volleyball teams were set up for the summer months.

Anglo-American Relations and Education:
Anglo-American relations were always cordial and included many visits to the homes of British people. These visits were returned by the British on many occasions. A Thanksgiving party was organized for 32 British children from Sudbury. Formal entertainment of British civilians and the organization of a Christmas Party for 260 children from Sudbury, Long Melford, and Acton were held. All the children received a stocking full of candy from Santa Claus. Dances were held on a regular basis and attended by numerous British civilians. American Officers frequently visited nearby British military and civilian Hospitals during the year.

The British “Brains Trust” of Cambridge University appeared three times for formal group discussions. Various lectures on local history were given by British civilians.
It appears that 94% percent of the command subscribed to “The Stars and Stripes” and other allied publications during the reported period. Approximately 4% of the organization enrolled in Army correspondence courses.

Rehabilitation and Convalescence:
The Rehabilitation Department (which started 2 November 1943) continued to operate with success. It was based on lectures, exercises, calisthenics, remedial classes, manual training, training films and aids, and additional topics including foreign language, aircraft identification, map reading, compass reading, scouting, and booby-traps and mines identification and usage. Average monthly attendance rose to 2,120 patients.
One Captain, Medical Corps, assisted by 1 Lieutenant, Infantry, and 4 Enlisted personnel, were in charge of rehabilitation in the wards; with one Lieutenant, assisted by 3 EM, in charge of physiotherapy. One Enlisted chiropodist was in charge of the foot clinic. Wall bars, weights, pulleys, stationary bicycle, foot and ankle exercisers, basketball net, badminton court, floor mats, and other aids were used for rehabilitation of patients.

Training schedules were prepared by Officers. Ward lectures were given each week with subjects derived from “Army Talks”. Apart from the latter the patients received extra lectures and sessions covering self-aid, map reading, aircraft identification, armor identification, and various aspects of military tactics. The physiotherapy department was provided with bakers, UV lamps, whirlpool bathing, and special exercises.

A Convalescent Battalion was established on 19 July 1944 consisting of four ward tents (used as patient living quarters) and one pyramid tent (for unit headquarters) led by a special staff composed of a 2d Lieutenant, MAC, (CO); one Sergeant; and one Corporal, with an initial strength of 37 patients. Its primary mission was to remove the convalescing soldier from a hospital environment, bring him back into a military atmosphere, shorten his convalescence period, and begin a complete physical and mental reconditioning by means of a carefully balanced training schedule coupled with outside fatigue details, so that any soldier returning to duty from the hospital would be ready to immediately resume an active and functional role in a combat unit. Patient instructors were selected on the basis of their abilities and previous service in order to fully utilize the acquired experience of combat-wise veterans and to enable the less-seasoned soldier to profit from the mistakes and observations of the men who had served under fire in many campaigns.

The Convalescent Battalion (which started as a company) functioned as a complete subordinate unit of the 136th Station Hospital. With the help of this ‘special’ unit, all departments were maintained by patients under the direction of patient NCOs. This kept trained personnel in touch with their former jobs, converted hitherto ‘green’ men into confident and competent personnel who assisted NCOs in maintaining initiative and command presence during the various phases of activities. They received instruction, developed skills, and were trained in different activities, including the use of small arms such as the .45 caliber auto pistol, the .45 caliber submachine gun, the .30 caliber Garand and Springfield rifles, the .30 caliber carbine, etc. with demolitions, land mines, booby-traps, smoke, and field communications emphasized.
In September, the Battalion’s permanent staff was increased to 4 men, the tentage now included 17 ward tents, 9 pyramid tents, and 1 indoor classroom, and the number of patients grew to 251. Although being a comparatively new phase in a Station Hospital’s work, there was conclusive evidence that the Convalescent Battalion was a success. During the period from 19 July 1944 to 31 December 1944, it trained, clothed, processed and returned to duty 1,944 Enlisted patients.

Construction:
During the early part of 1944, overhead covered ways were constructed to enable the patients to walk freely to the various wards without being exposed to the rain and snow. Actual construction commenced on 26 February 1944 with equipment and materiel supplied through the District Engineer and the British Garrison Engineer. A sergeant pertaining to a US Engineer Combat Battalion supervised the work of the MD personnel.

The 28 ward tents necessary for the hospital expansion program were fully winterized, with works starting 1 December 1944. The construction was carried out by a Platoon of US Army Engineers supplemented by convalescing patients. The tents were used as an overflow for each ward and also housed ambulatory patients until they were physically fit to be transferred to the Convalescent Battalion or returned to duty.
