Healers in World War II:
Oral Histories of Medical Corps Personnel
by Pat Sewell
Book
Description: Dr. Logan W. Hovis parachuted onto Corregidor with the 503rd
Regimental Combat Team. Dr. Jeremiah Henry Holleman served with the 89th Division all the
way into Germany, liberating a concentration camp. Nurse Mary A. Breeding, five feet tall,
100 pounds, served with the 174th General Hospital in France. Dr. Vincent Stephen Conti
was awarded a Bronze Star for fighting typhus in Naples, Italy.
These accounts and 31 others covering the heroics of 44 individuals working in the
Medical Corps are gathered here by editor Patricia W. Sewell. Firsthand accounts are given
by doctors, nurses, ambulance drivers, front-line medics, Navy corpsmen, medical personnel
who served on air evacuation teams and hospital ships, and others who functioned in many
different capacities. Autobiographies, interviews, letters and cassette tapes helped
compose most of these narratives.
