The 8th Evacuation Hospital can trace its roots back to Base Hospital No. 41, activated on the eve of World War 1. Both units had been sponsored by the University of Virginia in Charlottesville, and the respective commands drawn from the local population. Dr. Staige D. Blackford, of the University’s Medical School felt that the University should not only be able to continue to operate as a Medical School during WW2, but that it should also be capable of providing a medical unit. Blackford took upon himself the task of persuading the administration of the University that the formation of the unit was both desirable and feasible; he also assumed the responsibility for recruiting the personnel after permission had been granted from the University and the Surgeon General’s Office.
