The dates of operation for the Base Hospital 26 were Dec. 15, 1917, to May 3, 1919. It was mobilized and trained in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and arrived in Fort McPherson, Georgia, on Dec. 31, 1917. Major Arthur A. Law of Minneapolis was the director. The unit trained with other units in Georgia and by March 1918 the personnel had increased to a number sufficient for a 1,000-bed hospital. Base Hospital 26 staff were the first to arrive at the Hospital Center in Allerey, France, where they began to set up hospital services to aid the soldiers in World War I. The Rochester men enlisted in that city and were sworn in by Dr. Robinson, recruiting officer and organizer.
