“Removing the stitches – At an Air Service Command Hospital in Italy, Second Lieutenant M. Johnson, Army nurse from Missoula, Montana, gently and skillfully removes stitches from the injured leg of an Air Forces officer. Army nurses are waging an increasing war on pain on every front, but they are too few in number. There is an urgent need for 10,000 more Army Nurses.”
