Serving in the Lab at Camp Green Army Base Hospital, February, 1919

From The Caduceus, Camp Greene, Charlotte, Feb. 1, 1919

Laboratory Force of U.S. Army Base Hospital, Camp Greene, Charlotte, N.C.

Every day is an open season against germs for this band of ready workers. With every trick of chemistry they dog the trail of all disease “bugs” that chance to enter the reservation of the base hospital. Day and night these men and women are peering through microscopes, sterilizing, testing and operating the powerful X-Ray machines in their efforts to safeguard the health of the camp. The only grudge we hold against the organization is that they impose the vaccinations and inoculations.

They are, from left to right in the upper row: Sgt. Franck, Pvt. Howard, Capt. West, Pvt. Petrelli, Miss Lewis, Lieut. Wolf, Major Claude Brown, Lieut. Ringstrom, Miss Hildreth, Pvt. Dice, Capt. Hart, Pvt. Thompson, Miss Chapin, Sgt. North, Corp. Joe Lawlor.

Lower row: Pvt. Haw, Pvt. Bently, Pvt. Roberts, Corp. Mason, Pvt. R. Smith, Sgt. Regner, Sgt. Martin
