Item description from seller

This history of the NZ 3 General Hospital from 1940 to 1946 follows it from formation, arrival in Egypt to the campaigns of North Africa and into Italy. However, its first caualties were the many sick and wounded from Greece and Crete. It was to be January 1946 before the hospital admitted its last patient and a few days later 3 General Hospital, at Bari, closed and remaining staff repatriated to NZ. The hospital was open for 1513 days, treated just over 46,000 patients, carried out 11,422 surgaries and lost 127 of those treated. The cost of producing this "unofficial" history was met by the hospital's Other Ranks Canteen Fund and is a fine account of one side of military campaigning often overlooked. The result was an excellent publication in presentation, content and quality. First edition from Caxton Press of 1958, 285 pages including poem and statistics, four "Diary of Events" (for each campaign), roll of honour and honors list, 112 b/w photos in seven sections plus frontis. Grey cloth hard covers VG+, internally exvellent, no inscriptions.…
