St. Ansgar -- Capt. Helen W. Brammer, daughter of Rev. and Mrs Paul Brammer, is now serving as chief nurse with a station hospital at Peninsular base headquarters in Italy, which made an impressive record during almost two years of service overseas. In 19 months of actual operations more than 19,000 patients were admitted to this hospital in addition to more than 17,000 out-patients. A large number of the hospital admissions were battle casualties in north Africa and Italy.
