March 18, 2008

Thousands of WWII participants were Kansans, and among them were the nurses of the 77th Evacuation Hospital at the University of Kansas Medical Center. Activated in June 1942, the outfit served in England, North Africa, Sicily, France, Belgium and Germany. Through letters and photographs, you’ll discover what the nurses had to say about the war.
