Note by Jo-Ann Power: The AEF hospital in Savenay, near the southwestern coastal ports of St. Nazaire and Nantes France, was the site of a composite hospital that received wounded needing long-term care and rehabilitative services. As an embarkation point for American troops, the area was a supply depot for arriving and departing AEF units. The Savenay hospital complex housed units that treated soldiers who suffered from all types of ailments, including diseases, fractures, and wounds.
