EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative sketch, created by A. Smith in November 1918, captures the scene of Mobile Hospital No. 39, also known as The Yale Unit, near Chaillons, St. Mihiel, France, towards the end of the First World War. The mobile hospital was a vital component of the Allied forces' war effort, providing essential medical care to wounded soldiers in the field. The image depicts a collection of huts and buildings that make up the hospital complex, with medical personnel tending to patients both inside and outside. Smoke rises from the chimneys of the hospital huts, suggesting the warmth and comfort provided within, while the surrounding landscape is barren and wintry, a stark reminder of the harsh conditions endured by those on the front lines. The American flag flies proudly above the hospital, signifying the presence of the United States Army in the European theatre of war. The Yale Unit was one of several American mobile hospitals that were established during the conflict, and was named after its sponsor, the Yale University Alumni Association. The sketch offers a poignant glimpse into the daily life of a mobile hospital during the First World War, highlighting the vital role these units played in providing care and support to the wounded and injured soldiers who fought valiantly on the battlefields of France.
