Nurse Recalls Experiences
In Army Service Overseas
By JEANETTE GRANT
Welcomed back to the infirmary nursing staff after serving
four years with the army’s 46th division, Miss Leota Bradley
in her starched white uniform and cap gives no visible indica
tions of her experiences in the African and European war zones.
Miss Bradley took her nurses training in St. Vincents
hospital in Portland, then spent three years with the University
of Oregon infirmary before entering the service. *
j.n i»4u sne enlisted and was
stationed at Fort Lewis for a
year before joining the 46th, a
division which was started by
Colonel J, Guy Strohm and Lt.
Colonel Harriet Dickson. The unit
was started at the University of
Oregon and recruited 100 nurses,
most of whom were Oregon wo
men; a smaller group included out
of-state nurses taking training in
Oregon, and the remainder of the
unit consisted of 65 officers, most
ly doctors, and a large detachment
of enlisted men.
North Africa
After one year of basic training
^St Fort Riley, Kansas, the unit
went to Oran, North Africa,
where they set up a hospital. The
46th did not arrive until after
Rommel’s break-through so little
■action was seen. At one time the
hospital had 1500 patients, mostly
American, and a few Italian
malaria victims.
Miss Bradley said that the
malaria was pretty well under
control when they arrived. This
was due to the work of men who
had landed before them, who had
wiped out most of the mosquito
breeding places and improved the
sanitary conditions.
The hospital, consisting only of
a series of tents, presented many
difficulties; nevertheless, the regu
lar procedure of an average hos
pital was carried on. The person
—Jiel lived in tents, and the enlisted
men improvised the only two
showers in camp for the nurses.
Sanitation was very good consid
ering the conditions under which
they had to operate.
Barracks Hospital
Leaving Africa in September,
1944, the division went to southern
France. They landed in Saint
Tropez bay, and traveled in con
voy to Besancone, where they
established another hospital.
Instead of tents they were

housed in barracks, composed of
stone buildings. They converted
stables and tents into extra space
to take care of 3200 French sol
diers.
Taking care of the soldiers be
hind the French 1st Army was
their new task; however, at one
time they had 2000 Russian men
that had been liberated, to care
for. Most of the Russians had
tuberculosis.
In France, Captain Bradley had
the opportunity to see some of the
country, as they took sections of
her group on turs. She took trips
to Paris and Versailles before
leaving.
Having enough points for dis
charge Miss Bradley is back in the
old routine; however, many of her
friends were pulled out of the divi
sion and sent to the South Pacific.
A few were sent home with her,
and the remainder are on their
way home now.
