Comment on IWU and war-time activities by Molly Daniel

I was pleased to find on the internet a copy of the transcribed diary of Maude Essig, as well as the 1986 article by Alma S. Woolley in Indiana Magazine of History based on Maude’s diary. I am interested to know if you have any additional information or photos in your collections relating to Base Hospital 32. My great aunt, Agnes Swift, also served as a nurse with that unit, in the group that was recruited from southeastern Iowa (Unit R). While Maude’s training and assignments corresponded with the majority of the unit organized in Indiana, they were both ultimately stationed in Contrexeville, France. I have the texts a cousin transcribed of Agnes’s letters home, as well as a copy of the BH 32 unit history by Benjamin Hitz, photographs from various internet sources, and snapshots from my own trip to Contrexeville several years ago.

Perhaps President Wilson could hit some historic golf balls with the clubs?
