Description

This is a Christmas 1943 commemorative booklet from the Army and Navy General Hospital, Hot Springs National Park, Arkansas — a wartime military hospital publication produced for staff and patients during the holiday season.

Example of Contents include:

  • Greetings from the Commanding General — a holiday message from Brigadier General R. H. Goldthwaite reflecting on the year of war and thanking the hospital staff for their loyal service
  • A photograph of the WAC Enlisted Technicians School formation lined up outside the hospital barracks
  • A Medical Detachment 1867th SU roster, listing the unit’s commanding officers (Captain John J. Freniere and Second Lieutenant Roy M. Hodge) followed by enlisted personnel by rank — Master Sergeants, Technical Sergeants, Staff Sergeants, Technicians (3rd and 4th Grade), Sergeants, and Corporals — under a caduceus emblem

Overall, the booklet appears to be a holiday keepsake/yearbook-style publication documenting the hospital’s medical detachment personnel and offering seasonal greetings from command, reflecting military tradition during the wartime Christmas season.
