Biographical Information:
During World War II, troops in a combat operation were not permitted to stop and care for the wounded. All soldiers carried emergency field-dressing kits and, if possible, attempted to treat their own wounds. Wounded soldiers waited for the stretcher-bearers who would take them to a Regimental Aid Post, just behind the lines. Here, a Regimental Medical Officer and assistants cleaned the wounds, applied dressings, and gave injections. When necessary, they were then taken to the Advanced Dressing Station for further treatment and emergency amputation and then moved to the "field hospital", also known as "ambulances" or "casualty clearing stations," where needed surgeries were carried out. The function of the field hospital was to operate solely on casualties hit in the chest, abdomen, or large bone of the leg. Other wounds were fixed at the same time, of course, but the idea was to bring a facility to perform major surgery as close to the line as possible. All casualties, treated patients and evacuees were then sent to the evacuation hospital ("evac hospital") for further treatment and redeployment. Typically, each of a field hospital's three platoons consisted of about 60 enlisted men, six nurses, and about a half dozen surgeons. In the Korean Conflict, field hospitals became known as MASH (Mobile Army Surgical Hospital) units.
During the European, phase of World War II, U. S. Army Field Hospitals supported infantry divisions as they marched across Europe to Berlin after the D-Day invasion. The 67th Field Hospital, in support of the 9th Army, was one such unit. In its support role, the 67th not only treated American military casualties, but civilians and enemy soldiers needing treatment as well.
Brief History of the 67th Field Hospital in World War II
The 67th Field Hospital was officially activated on March 20, 1944 at Camp Ellis in Illinois under the command of Major Benjamin B. Black, AMC. The unit adopted "To Conserve Fighting Strength" as its motto. Many of the members of the 67th were "washed-out, would-be pilots" relieved from further flight training, but given credit for ground service. Eighty-one came from the 60th College Training Detachment (Air Crew Training) stationed in Pittsburgh. Seventeen other non-commissioned officers and other enlisted men were assigned to the 67th from the 1879th Service Unit stationed at Camp Livingston, Louisiana. Still others came from San Antonio Cadet Training Center and a flight crew-training center at Oklahoma A&M University in Stillwater.
On April 20, 1944, the newly formed unit began training to support battlefield surgery at The O'Reilly General Hospital in Springfield, MO. On D-Day (June 6, 1944), the unit was still in training there. On October 12, 1944, the 67th sailed for Liverpool, England from Boston aboard the troopship Wakefield, formerly the USS Manhattan. Upon arriving in Liverpool, they were transported across the English Channel and landed at Omaha Beach on October 25, 1944. The unit bivouacked near the village of Montebourg, on the Cherbourg Peninsula, before being assigned to the 9th Army preparing to move east across Europe towards Berlin.
In its support of the 9th Army, at The Battle of the Bulge, the 67th set up field hospitals and treated the wounded in Hoepertingen Belgium, Valkenberg, Holland. The 67th crossed the Rhine River on March 25, 1946 and set up field hospitals at Suchteln, Beckum, Forderstedt and Rosche in Germany. Shortly after VE Day (May 7, 1945), the 67th treated casualties at Ludwigslust, Burg, Bremen, Arolsen, Bad Nueheim and Fulda in Germany.
The advance of the 9th Army was ordered to stop short of entering Berlin, and assigned to eliminate the small pockets of resistance clearing the way for other units to enter the city. During March and April 1945, three units of the 67th were with 82nd Airborne when it liberated Wöbbelin, a hard labor concentration camp located near an abandoned Luftwaffe Airdrome just north of Ludwigslust, Germany. They cared for more than 200 men and women rescued from the piles of many more who had been starved to death by the Nazis. They survivors were treated in aircraft hangar of a nearby Luftwaffe airfield that was converted into a hospital.
The unit was partially disbanded with some members being redeployed back the States and others were assigned further duty at Bad Nueheim and Fulda with the 57th Field Hospital before being redeployed as a "carrier unit" , caring for the wounded on the way home, with the 20th Field Hospital.
The 67th was decommissioned in June 1946.
Years later, members of the unit met at a reunion and referred to themselves as "M*A*S*H '45."

Transcriptions of select entries are as follows:
10 December 1944. 67th F.H. Hoepertingen, Belgium – Trucking to Cherbourg, we took a hospital trail via Le Havre, Paris, Brussels to Liege. From there we took trucks through Tongeren to Hoepertingen and were quartered in a schoolhouse in the little town. With our cotts taking up all floor space, the Belgian children made things often crowded. 12 December 1944. 67th F.H. Hoepertingen – Unloading equipment – tis only the beginning! While walking one afternoon Rod, Sarna, Stilt, and I met several of the town's Belles who invited us to their house in the evening. Thus began nightly visits at the Lux's house, and some of their friend's houses, around family circles where French only spoken.
14 December 1944. 67th F.H. Hoepertingen – Rod, Paul, and I did some shopping & went to a G.I. theater in the city of St. Trond, north of Hoepertingen. 3rd unit moved out into tents in a nearby field. Started playing some Belgian-type csapp$(?) games at Lucy's (Lux) house. Her aunt, a skinny old lady that was really very amusing, won the most! We go to a nearby place often to get "ice" ice cream over which we shave our "D" bars of chocolat. Very good!
20 December 1944. 67th F.H. Hoepertingen – Local mayor "Louis," a 1st rate character, plans to bring in Christmas trees for the stage of the schoolroom. Louis did his best to talk 5 languages at once. We plan a choir from the 67th to sing in the church across the street. Buzz bombs resemble moving comets in the sky when viewed at night on guard duty. They appear to travel slowly and make a noise unlike anything else. A nearby air strip was their main target & several landed around us & several passed over pretty low.
22 December 1944. 67th F.H. Hoepertingen – Kay Dewey(?) has arrived to join the nurses in time to play for the little choir group. A Christmas party also is planned. Steak dinners 40F next door café.
25 December 1944. 67th F.H. Hoepertingen – Our choir made a big hit in the Belgian church. Brussels-bottled Coca Cola served. Nurses & officers gave us presents from PX supplies and went to the trouble of wrapping each present. Potter stole the show later in the evening on the stage with his magician act. Johnny played & sang his song & at the end, lead community singing. Saw the movie "Mrs. Parkington."
28 December 1944. 67th F.H. Hoepertingen – Rod, Johnny, Colandrea & I went bicycling with the gals. Went to see a buzz bomb crater nearby, later going to a family home to be introduced to a countess who was very old.
1 January 1945. 67th F.H. Hoepertingen – New Years Eve Party at "une autre maison." Rod, John, Colandrea, the girls, 6 boys, & some elderly people. Left at 5:45 – would have been "insulting" to have left sooner. German plane shot down nearby. Civilians would have killed pilot. His belongings were looted mostly by Drucker(?).
4 January 1945. 67th F.H. Hoepertingen – Col. Block(?) refused my application for transfer to 3rd unit. 3rd unit set up in tents behind the convent. With excess money I could sell my K.P. duty (?). (300F)
12 January 1945. 67th F.H. Hoepertingen – Started pin-up collection on walls. Fast became center of attraction. Began "profiles" column. Guard duty & other "details."
6 February 1945. 67th F.H. Hoepertingen – Spend some time observing the dispensary process with Rod in 3rd tent for civilians. A lot of skin diseases.
10 February 1945. 67th F.H. Hoepertingen – Henson with Rod's 3rd unit moved to Maastricht has planned an outfit(?) paper to which I am to forward articles. I tried to help Lucy write a letter to Rod in English. Schoolbuilding frequently without lights. Mascot "Ziggy" put to death after prolonged sickness. 3 rabbitts, a goat, and dogs have taken up residence with us. I accompany the "rations run," usually with Julien(?) drawing(?) a 2 ½, frequently on visits to Rod & John in Maastricht.
16 February 1945. 67th F.H. Hoepertingen – Became 2nd unit mail clerk. New C.O. Lt. Col Beeler(?)
