American Military Hospitals in the ETO

Mike,

Fellow Scrantonian, do you have any info on 127th Field Evacuation Hospital (ETO) or do you know how I can access info on this unit. My Father (Deceased) Daniel Ceccoli was an ambulance driver/mechanic with this unit 1943-45 and I am trying to gather info on his time in Europe.

Daniel Ceccoli, MD
Formerly of Scranton

 

These guys have a member Larry Warm who was with the 127th 1943-46;

127th Evacuation Hospital - Unit Pages

You have to register to contact him but maybe he could be of some help

this;

http://www.ibiblio.org/pha/USA-in-WWII/Set-3-of-7/Disk-3/Brochures/nurse.pdf

has only a small reference on page 24, pertaining to the care of holocaust surviviors.

Hope it's some help

 

Daniel, First let me apologize for not noticing this right away. Right off the bat, I did not find anything not provided by Nigel above. The 127th was sent to the Dachau area to aid in the treatment of victims there. As for where the Unit histories, in my experiance they could be anywhere (I once located the Detailed Unit Histories for a regiment I was looking into at the archives of the University of Nebraska), but I would begin with writing a request to the NARA.

If I dig up anything more I will post it here.

Hello. I run the WW2 Medical Research website that is quoted in the thread you responded to (WW2 US Medical Research Centre :: Homepage).

I read with great interest that you have an original book documenting the history of the 5th Evacuation Hospital. I wonder whether or not you might be prepared to provide me with some additional details relating to the unit?

Could you please send me an email - ben@med-dept.com so that we discuss in more detail?

Kind regards,
Ben.

 

I'm thinking about many things, especially our mother, Anne Nelson Kunnari, an RN Anesthetist in the U.S. Army who was 68 yrs. ago with the 217th General Hospital in England in June 1944. She and many others in those hospitals were receiving, taking into surgery and saving many many of these men who were wounded and evacuated back to England on that day and many to follow. God bless the memory of them all.

 

does anyone have any information on the 166th station hospital which was possibly around tidworth barracks england in nov 1943?
