Description

The house where members of the civilian surgical team lived in Long Xuyen. The women stayed at the back right of the building and the men had their own rooms at the back left near the kitchen and dining room. The front bottom floor was their entertaining area and bar. More than 450 civilian medical and surgical staff volunteered to work in hospitals in Vietnam to instruct and teach Vietnamese medical and paramedical personnel and provide medical aid to everyone who required it.
