Nurses of the A.E.F. mobile hospital No.4 in 1918
From the Bernard Becker Medical Library online image gallery at <http://medcat.wustl.edu/cgi/arb.cgi?758637808:ig1:3:ar1:2016>;. The exact date is unknown so we can't tell if Francie is in this photo or not, but there is a resemblance to the nurse on the far right in the front row. At the very least she would have worked with some of these people when stationed with this unit from Sep 26 to Nov 28.
