  <dc:description>Courtesy of the National Museum of Health and Medicine: &quot;The patients were brought by ambulance from the the 42nd and 46th Portable Surgical Hospital below Walabum, Burma.  The patients were then flown to Ledo for 73rd and 20th General Hospitals.&quot;. The auxiliary surgical hospitals (later called Mobile Army Surgical Hospitals) were conceived and developed by DeBakey and the Surgical Consultants in the first years of World War II. They greatly improved battlefield injury survival rates by getting surgical care closer to the front lines. Photos like this, taken during the last years of the war, provide a closer look at the operations of the surgical units.</dc:description>
