U.S. Army Nurse Corps – Le Havre

In 1945, several U.S. Army hospitals were active in Le Havre, France, including the 53rd Field Hospital, the 128th Evacuation Hospital, and the 12th General Hospital. These hospitals provided a wide range of medical services, from treating soldiers near the front lines to offering surgical care and long-term rehabilitation. U.S. Army nurses served in all of these hospitals, including many holding the rank of 1st Lieutenant. These nurses, part of the Army Nurse Corps, played crucial roles in patient care and held leadership responsibilities, helping manage medical operations during the later stages of the war.
