Description

Tamworth, NSW. 1942. A view of the 102nd Australian General Hospital (102AGH) was spread around the country paddocks. Huts were used as wards for the patients and nursing sisters from the Australian Army Nursing Service (AANS) were usually given a block of two huts (wards) of patients. They were assisted by members of the Australian Army Medical Women's Service and an orderly. Very sick patients were nursed in the main hospital building. Note the tents which were probably used to accommodate some of the hospital staff. Also note the Indian Army type ambulances standing by. (Donor E. Morante)
