Synopsis
A History Of Base Hospital 32 Including Unit R by Benjamin D. Hitz. This history chronicles the Lilly Base Hospital No. 32 and its attached Unit R, tracing the effort to organize a 500-bed base hospital under the Red Cross, its expansion, and its deployment to France in 1917. The book follows the early organizing work in Indianapolis, the selection of physicians and nurses, and the equipment program funded by Eli Lilly, including linen and medical supplies. It documents training at Fort Harrison, mobilization and packing, and the voyage to Hoboken and to overseas. It then covers arrival at Contrexéville and the development of the Contrexéville–Vittel Hospital Center, the transfer to Unit R from Iowa, and the hospital’s chronological progress through Spring 1918’s influenza, gas cases, and surgical and medical care. The text also details the American Red Cross contributions, including the bathhouse, Casino Theatre, nurses’ clubs, and the Memorial Day and Bastille/Independence Day celebrations. It culminates with armistice, homeward movements, and postwar demobilization, preserving a detailed record for future generations.
