1st New Zealand Stationary Hospital

The 1st New Zealand Stationary Hospital was dispatched to Salonika from Egypt in October 1915. During the transfer, the troopship (Marquette) carrying the New Zealanders was torpedoed by a German submarine; 167 lost their lives, including 22 New Zealand medical orderlies and ten nurses. The survivors established a tent hospital at Salonika in which they treated cases of frostbite, typhoid and dysentery until March 1916, when they left for France.
