From July of 1918, author Edward Hungerford remembers:
“Four to the ambulance came the wounded into that haven of Neuilly. Many of them were terribly wounded indeed; and practically none of them had had more attention than hurriedly applied first-aid dressing. But the appalling factor was not alone the seriousness of the wounds, but the mere numbers of the wounded. They came in such numbers that at times during those four eventful July evenings the floors of all the rooms of the hospital — even the hallways and the garage — literally were covered with stretchers.” (With the Doughboy in France: A Few Chapters of an American Effort, 162-163)
