MASH Nurse


I came across this photograph of a MASH (mobile army surgical hospital) Nurse from the Korean war. She is taking a little bedside back next to her bunk after a hard day "Nursing" soldiers.

This MASH unit was the type of unit that was being portrayed in the hit T.V. series M.A.S.H.

I was actually in the 10th MASH unit at Ft. Carson, CO until the Army removed all MASH units and created a CSH (combat support hospital units), the difference was about 300 more beds it had which made it much bigger.

Wikipedia Article on MASH Units.

I love military photo's especially of Military Medical personel in combat situations, Since I was medic myself.
