    In June, No. 2 Australian Stationary Hospital (2ASH) arrived in East Mudros from Mena camp. In Egypt, it had primarily treated cases of venereal disease.

    It moved to West Mudros on 4 August. There, it was part of a growing complex of Allied medical facilities. It was set up to treat around 600 patients but often cared for more.

    After nurses arrived with 3AGH in August, some of them also worked in 2ASH.
