Re: Medical history research question



We have about 6 linear feet of material from the 27th Evacuation Hospital
at the University of Illinois at Chicago

The 27th Evac. Hospital was a 750 bed evacuation hospital initially
composed of volunteers from University of Illinois at the Medical Center
and surrounding hospitals from the Illinois Medical District.  It existed
from 1942 through 1945 and served in the North African and European
Theaters.

This collection consists of 12 donations from various people who served
with the 27th Evacuation Hospital during WW II.
