The exact publication date of this book is uncertain, but estimated to be 1944. In 1941, medical, nursing, and dental personnel from the University of Maryland mobilized for deployment to establish the 42nd General Hospital based in Australia. After completing preparatory training in Michigan, they departed from San Francisco in May, 1942, enroute to Melbourne, Australia. Subsequent operations took place in Canberra and Queensland, and the main hospital facility was established at Stuartholme, overlooking the city of Brisbane. An additional psychiatric unit eventually formed at Goodna. This book affords a comprehensive pictorial study in the life experiences of the many officers, enlisted, and civilian personnel attached to the unit in all of its operations.Keyword
