United States. Army. Evacuation Hospital, 38th

In 1940, Gen. George Marshall approved formation of the U.S. Army 38th Evacuation Hospital at the request of Charlotte-area doctors and nurses. The 38th Evac was activated in March, 1942 and received military training at Fort Bragg. The unit served in England (August-October, 1942); North Africa (November, 1942-September, 1943); and Italy (through July, 1945). The 38th Evac supported front line aid stations and mobile surgical units, treated disease, and transferred patients to general hospitals. Deactivation occurred following the Unit's tour of duty in Italy.
