279th Station Hospital

The 279th Station Hospital was a U.S. Army medical unit activated during World War II. Organized in 1943, the hospital deployed to the European Theater of Operations, where it provided medical care and support to American and Allied forces. It was stationed in England prior to D-Day and later moved to France following the Normandy invasion, treating wounded soldiers through the remainder of the war. After V-E Day, the unit continued occupational medical support before being deactivated in 1946.
