Topic: 11th Army Group


  
  Army Group Royal Artillery - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Army Group Royal Artillery was a British military formation type during World War II and shortly thereafter.

They were flexible formations, being moved at need from corps to corps within an army.

 British 11th Army Group - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The British 11th Army Group was the main British Army force in Southeast Asia.
During the advance to be made in Northern combat area from Ledo to Myitkyina to cover the building of the Ledo Road, it was essential that this attack was co-ordinated with the attacks further south to prevent the Japanese concentrating large numbers of reserves for a counter attack on any one front.
11th Army Group was redesignated because it was felt that an inter-Allied command was better than the purely British headquarters that 11th Army Group was.

 The Army Nurses in the Korean War
Additional Army Nurse Corps officers or even replacements were few as both the Army and the nation were in the midst of a nursing shortage dating back to 1945 and the end of World War II.
The Army nurses of the 4th Field Hospital, the 8055 MASH, the 171st and 121st Evacuation Hospitals, the 1st MASH and the 8063 MASH followed the troops as U.N. forces reclaimed ground lost during the enemy's push south to the Pusan Perimeter.
Because the nation and the Army Nurse Corps were simultaneously locked in the depths of a critical and dangerous nursing shortage, it is noteworthy that the small number of caregivers was capable of providing support for the enormous numbers of casualties generated.
