Australia’s No. 2 Stationary Hospital (2ASH) arrived on Lemnos in June and was first set up in East Mudros, near 1ASH.

It was relocated in early August when the main medical precinct was set up in West Mudros. 2ASH comprised some 60 marquees, a separate block for infectious patients and a staff of around 140.

The sick and wounded were carried or wheeled on stretchers from the pier to the hospital as the ships arrived. The introduction of four motor ambulances at the end of September eased this task.
