455th General Hospital

The 455th General Hospital was a United States Army unit activated during World War II. Organized in 1942, the unit provided vital medical support to American and Allied forces in the European Theater of Operations. After training in the United States, the 455th deployed overseas, where its personnel treated thousands of wounded soldiers, contributing significantly to wartime medical care and recovery efforts. The hospital was deactivated following the end of hostilities, but its service left a lasting legacy in military medical operations.
