| Description |
English: HOSPITAL UNPREPAREDNESS: AN OBJECT-LESSON FOR AMERICA. In the early days of the war, before the French Red Cross had fully organized its resources, it frequently happened that straw strewn upon marble flags was the only make-shift for beds which could be provided for the wounded. This straw proved most unfortunate for the wounded, as it was often infected with tetanus germs. Here, beneath the altar of their faith, in the Church of Aubigny, converted into a hospital, the fighting men of France reconsecrated their lives to the cause.
Français : MANQUE DE PRÉPARATION DE L'HOPITAL : une leçon pour l'Amérique. Dans les premiers jours de la première guerre mondiale, avant que la Croix-Rouge française ai organisé ses ressources, il arrivait fréquemment que la paille éparpillées sur le sol soit les seuls lits de fortune à offrir aux blessés. Cette paille s'avéra dangereuse pour les blessés, car elle était souvent infectée par des germes du tétanos. Ici, sous l'autel de l'église d'Aubigny transformée en hôpital, les combattants de la France reconsacrent leur vie pour la cause. |
