hature of the devices, hut the

Camp Carson Colo.—What are
Army nurses made of?
How can they take the dangers
ancf gruelling hardships they are
called upon to meet daily on bat
tlefronts around the world? Where
do they get the stamina to work |
tirelessly close to the fighting;
fronts, live under primitive con
ditions, even face enemy fire?
Upon what reserves can they
call for the gallantry and devo
tion .to duty that has won for
many of them the same medals
awarded to our fighting men?
Here at Camp Carson they know
the answers. For it is here that
many nurses now overseas learn
ed how to “take it"’ and many
others are undergoing the tough
‘raining that will fit them for the,
stern life ahead, on the fighting
fronts.
Here they sleep in tents in the
rugged Rocky Mountains, hike
miles with full packs, undergo sur- \
efficiently when sent overseas, as
they are do ng in Italy on the An
zio beach. After these problems,
athletic games are scheduled to
help in toughening bodies. The
comradeship and joviality of the
nurses, officers and enlisted men
binds the hospital units into a
group working, thinking and play
ing together.
Another G. I. meal after retreat
and a little time to gather around
the fire and sing. Steel helmets
make odd shadows in the firelight.
The husky voices of the men blend
with those of the nurses. But fun
is not for long because a night j
problem has been scheduled. All
must be quiet and obey orders, as
a simulated attack of the camp is
taking place.
At las*, time for bed. Even
though the nurses are dead tired,
they still take a few minutes for
beauty work. Cold cream jars
come out of green G. I. musette
bags. A few pin un their short
cropped hair. All wear warm pa
jamas and soon are zipped into
*heir bed rolls. The big gasoline
lamp is turned out by the chief
nurse, Lt. Light. She’s young and
\ attractive but can give orders
quickly and efficiently when nec
essary.
Reveille! That mountain breeze
is cold in the tent! Some warm
*heir wash cloths by the coal
stoves. (The nurses gather the
wood and build their own fires.>
Hot coffee and a good break
fast, and they are off to work
again on extended order drill just
in case they meet up with the
enemy. They learn to hit the
ground, run on the double and
. -X V. J. -f. X -f_ X X X X X X X X XXX XX X X
keep a certain distance apart when
marching.
Then comes map reading. They
study along with the men. Maps
of their bivouac area are provided
and they must be able to find
'heir loeat on from the map.
The second day of bivouac is a
full one. Perhaps the most excit
ing incident is the gas attack.
While marching, tear gas and
smoke is released as a surprise.
Quickly the nurses put their gas
masks on and walk safely through
the gas.
Their beds are as welcome the
second night as they were the
night before. The next morning
when they awake the ground is
covered with snow.
Snow or no snow there is still
work to be done—and the nurses

do it chee ‘‘ 11” ->r,d efficiently
before returning to camp.
This sta'ion hospital is .just one
of the many which have trained
at Carso,. From the commanding
officer of one of these outfits now
serving overseas <the name of
which cannot be given1 comes the
following words of praise about
the rugged training nurses of these
hospi'als get:
. “Our conditioning at our home
station stood us mighty well, Col.
Wilfred M. Blunt, camp command
er, and his training officer, Lt.
Col. Theodore A. Arndt, had ex
actly 'he right idea. Our nurses
have taken whatever came along
in stride and the hardships don't
bother them. Thanks to the hard
ening and the woolens, especially
the long-handled underwear,
we've done pretty well.”

prise gas and smoke attacks and
learn to go on bivouac in the field
with the men and officers of the r
hospital units.
Just how thorough this training
is was shown recently when the
226th Station hospital, command
ed by Maj. Raymond E. Davies,
went on bivouac. This is the
s4ory:
“Are you ready? Helmets ad
justed, leggings fasten'd, can
teens filled?” asks Lt. Mur.el
Light, chief nurse. She gives the
command, ‘‘Forward March!” and
the nurses leave the post at 3:30
in the morning for their bivouac
area 10 miles away. They step
along briskly, keeping up with the
men and officers of the outfit.
At 11:30 they go over the last
hill into the pine-dotted valley
chosen for the bivouac area. The
hard ground makes a welcome
place to rest and G. I. helmets a
good pillow.
Rest is not for long, but it is
interrupted by the welcome
sound of ‘‘Chow”. And do those
nurses pack away huge sandwich
es of cheese, bologna, and liver
w-urst, potato salad and hot cof
fee?
Almost as welcome as chow
call is mail call. Nurses are no
different from G. I.’s. They live
for mail call and that letter from
home, or from someone now over
seas.
Time to read your mail and then
there is work to be done. Classes
are held for two hours in first
aid, ambulance loading and litter
drill. Nurses must have many
hours of training in the field so
that they can operate quickly and
