12th evacuation hospital

The 12th Evacuation Hospital was a U.S. Army medical unit activated during World War II. Organized in 1942, it provided critical medical care and surgical support to wounded soldiers, often operating close to front-line combat zones in the European Theater. The unit participated in major campaigns, including the Normandy invasion and the push across France and Germany, treating thousands of casualties under challenging conditions. After the war, the 12th Evacuation Hospital was deactivated, leaving a legacy of dedicated service and lifesaving medical care in combat operations.
