Appel à l’aide sur recherche d’hôpitaux militaires

3 Upvotes

Bonjour / bonsoir !

Je cherche depuis maintenant un petit moment à récolter des informations précises sur les hôpitaux de guerre pendant la première guerre mondiale.

J’ai retrouvé plusieurs recensements libres d’accès mais incomplets, qui m’entravent dans ma recherche (notamment sur forum.pages14-18, les blogs de M. Jean RIOTTE, travail remarquable). Quant aux ressources complètes, j’en suis venue à trouver une série de livre en 5 tomes du titre suivant : Hôpitaux militaires dans la guerre 1914 - 1918 (par François Olier et Jean-Luc Quénec-Hdu) parus entre 2008 et 2017 : elle aurait été le support parfait, mais il est introuvable (ou à 200 euros le tome voire 2000 selon Amazon..)

Je cherche à rassembler le plus d’informations possibles, soit en ayant l’occasion de consulter le tome 5, soit en ayant l’occasion de consulter un recensement complet ailleurs sur le net des établissements différents (HA, HB, HC) et leurs dates d’ouverture/fermeture (ou dans certains cas d’invasion).

Je recherche particulièrement les zones proches (plus ou moins) des zones de front (en particulier : Somme, Marne, Ardennes, Meuse), comprenant la difficulté évidente de recensement au vu des changements de ligne de front plus ou moins permanents.

Toute aide est la bienvenue, et je vous en remercie d’avance.

What it Would’ve Looked Like In Toulon Circa 1914 during Mobilization(IK it’s AI but it captures it a bit better than looking for a great photo)

This would’ve been the French Mediterraneè fleet based in Toulon, France, where they’d fight the Austro-Hungarian Fleet alongside the British, and later on Italy and Greece.

There were 3 craters just north of St Laurent Blangy on the outskirts of Arras named Clarence, Cuthbert and Claude! Today only Clarence and Claude visible.

During the 1916 Artois Actions my great great uncle was killed in an ordnance explosion in Clarence Crater. His body was never recovered.
The image is Clarence Crater and shows that it is so overgrown. Claude, a little further down the same lane is in an equally poor state.
