Date 1915
Location Krushievatz, Serbia
Description "...me was the floor - old wood & holes in it. Impossible to sterilize...Then it will be the best Surgical Hospital in Serbia! But you must not believe that quite, for they are very good at saying pleasant things here! Then there are two other Hospitals. The typhus one, No. 6 Reserve & one for relapsing fever & General diseases No. 7 Reserve, both barracks. We have put most of our strength into No. 6 & it is in good working order but No. 7 has had only one doctor & 2 day sisters & 1 night, for over 200 beds. Still it is wonderful what those [illeg] women have done. We have Austrian prisoners as Orderlies everywhere in the Hospitals & in the houses...(30 May 1915)
