Ostrovo Unit

The Ostrovo Unit was a field hospital unit with Transport Column of the Scottish Women's Hospitals. It comprised approximately 200 beds and was situated near Lake Ostrovo (or Lake Vegoritida in the Greek region of Macedonia) during the First World War under the command of the Serbian Army. It was often called The America Unit as the money to fund it came from America and except for a few dressing stations, it was the Allied hospital nearest the front.
