Description

"Mohammedan Feast of Ide" (MAMAS A43-344-4), National Museum of Health and Medicine

Description: Celebrations at an Islamic feast, possibly Eid al-Adha or Eid al-Fitr. ("Mohammedan" is a dated term for Muslim or Islamic. "Ide" is unclear, but may be a mistranslation of "Eid.") "After the gathering, close-up." Photograph from the 20th General Hospital.

The 20th General Hospital was established in 1940 at the request of the Surgeon-General and was completed in 1943. It was situated in the jungles of northern India, along a long supply chain road called the Ledo Road. Its purpose was to provide exceptional medical care to the laborers constructing the road as well as U.S. and Chinese soldiers battling the Japanese in the region. The staff was organized from the University of Pennsylvania and comprised of over 60 doctors and 120 nurses. The hospital used antibiotics and modern surgical innovations to treat over 73,000 patients. It closed after the war.
