Description: from his pages on the way home.. nothing written on the back since he developed them when back home while the others he had mailed to his wife. Vintage WWII ORIGINAL1945 US Army photo from Jewish soldier Lester Saul Luber's WWII Photo Album. Les was with the 32nd General Hospital while in the ETO. A medic/abulance driver.

Army Serial Number 39527584 Enlistment Place Los Angeles California Enlistment Date 18 Jul 1942 More about the 32nd GH from the web: Lt. Col. Clark assumed command of the 32nd General Hospital. The unit was stationed at Minchinhampton, Gloucester from 9 May to 27 July 1944, then shipped out for France. The 32nd General Hospital was the first Allied general hospital to arrive in France after the D-Day landings. Stationed at La Haye du Puits in Normandy, the unit handled 5,350 patients between 17 August and 22 November 1944. The 32nd was then placed on inactive status and transferred to Belgium, where it remained until early 1945. During this time, 3 officers and 27 enlisted men of the unit were slightly injured by V-1 and aerial bombings.The unit became the first U.S. Army general hospital stationed in Germany when it moved into a civilian hospital in Aachen, Germany early in 1945. From 5 March to 30 July 1945, the hospital treated 41,797 patients. The hospital was closed on 30 July and moved to Mourmelon, France on 12 August 1945. Most of the personnel then left France at Marseilles aboard the S.S. Marine Angel on 3 October and arrived in New York 12 October 1945. The officers and enlisted men were discharged from the Army at Camp Atterbury near Edinburgh, Indiana in late October, 1945 and the 32nd General Hospital was officially deactivated.
