"Doc" Hastings writes down his medical observations from the field. As the medical officer to 6 transports to Scandinavia, he opened 3 special influenza units in addition to the 2 hospitals needed to care for the 1000 troops and 125 officers. He also describes the "Gas Chamber," a room where troops are trained on doning masks.
