Many of the photographs in Army Nurse Edith MacDonald’s scrapbook (see The Scrapbook of an American Army Nurse in WWI: Part One), are of her colleagues (other nurses and medical officers) and her patients. Fortunately, most of these are labeled with names but, unfortunately, with few additional details. Moreover, many of the photos are in soft focus, making visual recognition difficult.
Nonetheless, publishing these pictures and names may prove worthwhile, if any of them are recognized by their families. If anyone can shed light on any of these individuals, please do not hesitate to leave comments and information. In this way, little by little, the history of Base Hospital 115, from the perspectives both of staff and patients, may be modestly expanded.
