While the committee charged with its preparation has made every effort to produce a complete and accurate his- tory of the hospital and its work, the chief aim has been to publish a book that would preserve for future recollection some of the details of the life and environment of the members of the unit during the war. The task has not been without its difficulties. Authori- tative sources of information, particularly as regards the early history of the hospital, have been limited. It is be- lieved, however, that the material selected for publication embraces all of the more important phases of the hos- pital's work and of the activities of its personnel. Most of the illustrations in the book have been selected from photographs taken in and about Contrexeville by Mr. Charles S. Stough, and are reproduced with his per- mission. Others were contributed by Mr. Edward Kurr, Mr. Martin L. Sutton and Mr. Vernon Sheller. The committee desires to express its gratitude to Mr. William H. Thompson, whose efforts in securing copies of the hospital's official records from the Surgeon- General's office have contributed largely to the historical accuracy of the book. Acknowledgment is also due Mr. Clarence R.Johnston, who furnished the history of Unit R; Miss Gertrude Stef- fen and Dr. A. B. Graham, for the medical and surgical section statistics; Mr. George Fishback for much of the history of the unit after the armistice, and to Drs.

Executive Summary In 2007, the Georgia Legislature through Senate Bill 60 established the Georgia Trauma Care Network Commission, also known as the Georgia Trauma Commission (GTC). The GTC has the responsibility to establish, maintain and administer a trauma center network and to coordinate the best use of existing trauma facilities in Georgia. 1 Following a Georgia trauma system review by the American College of Surgeons’ Trauma System Consultation Program in January 2009, the GTC identified the need for both a comprehensive state trauma system plan and for a statewide trauma communications system. In 2009, the GTC developed the "Regional Trauma System Planning Framework" and a plan to test that framework through a pilot project ("Pilot Project for Georgia Trauma System Regionalization, White Paper"). The pilot project tested the framework as a regional trauma plan development guide and was the opportunity for the GTC to operationalize the Statewide Trauma Communications Center. In 2011, the pilot project was funded and was implemented in three of the state's 10 EMS regions (Regions V, VI and IX).

    xxxxxxxxxx Canadian Military Hospitals at Sea 1914-1919 Jonathan C Johnson, OTB S there was an ocean between Canada and the fighting during WWI, the movement of casualties needing lengthy treatment required special arrangements. Many of the Acasualties returning home, especially in 1915 and 1916, came back to Canada on relatively empty troop ships (ex-passenger ships) and were accompanied by a small medical team. The more serious casualties came home on either hospital ships or ambulance transports, most of which were equipped as floating convalescent hospitals. Hospital ships and ambulance transports generally were identically equipped. The former were commissioned naval auxiliaries painted white with green stripe and large red crosses and protected by the Geneva Convention (Figure 1). The latter were normal naval auxiliaries painted troop ship colours that sailed in convoy and were not protected by the Geneva Figure 1. Colour postcard of HMHS LETITIA with the correct Convention. Like most military colour scheme for a commissioned hospital ship under the Geneva Convention. units each ship had an ‘Orderly Room’ where mail could be posted and, if lucky, picked up upon arrival at port. Military service personnel overseas could post mail unpaid. For much of the war, the Canada Post Office added postage upon arrival in Canada so postage due would not be applied. Canada had six hospital ships and ambulance transports during WWI. Of this number, two were lost while in service. A return trip from Liverpool to Canada and back took one month. HMCHS PRINCE GEORGE The HMCHS PRINCE GEORGE was Canada’s only naval hospital ship.
