My father and his two brothers served in the Pacific in the US Navy, but his elder sister was a US Army nurse, first in India, them in Burma. She remembered that her hospital unit treated American, British Commonwealth and Chinese troops, far more ill with "Fever on Unknown Cause" than wounded. She never forgot her unit's Chief of Nursing, a Lieutenant Colonel who had been a nurse in WW1, then stayed in the reserves in the terribly discouraging interwar years - "You will treat every patient as if he was your brother". Aunt Rose was reactivated during the Korean War for duty in a Stateside hospital, but retired from the reserves - where she was a Lieutenant Colonel and Chief of Nursing for a reserve hospital with 20 years service - just before Vietnam. Guess what her first order was to her nursing staff....When I joined the Army, se informed me that until I made Light Colonel, I could address her as "Ma'am" !
