ambulance américaine BORDENAVE

[chris777]

Bonjour
Je recherche une infirmière de la croix rouge ayant exercé à l'ambulance américaine de Neuilly en 1915, Melle Marie Louise BORDENAVE. Toutes les pistes sont demeurées infructueuses (SHAT, Val de grâce, croix rouge Genève)
Je dispose de photos sur l'ambulance en 1915.
Merci

Bonsoir Chris,

Une piste très ténue et pas certaine et qui ne vous avancera pas vraiment beaucoup pour la période qui vous intéresse...

De plus, je ne comprends pas pourquoi les affectations successives sont notées au pluriel ?

Bonsoir,

infructueuses (SHAT, Val de grâce,

Effectivement, cette ambulance étant "américaine", privée, civile, vous ne risquez pas de trouver du côté des archives militaires; mieux vaudrait voir celles des hôpitaux de Paris, et, pourquoi pas, demander des pistes au Consulat ou à l'ambassade US...

Bien à vous,

[:achache:1]

Merci pour ces réponses, la piste pension veuvage est à creuser. Pour le reste j'ai contacté la Croix-Rouge à Genève sans succès, mais en lisant ce forum j'ai appris qu'il y avait peut-être une piste d'archives de la croix rouge à l'hôpital Broussais à Paris. Consulat, ambassade à voir aussi...

I do not think you are not going to have any luck looking for her records with the Red Cross if she was a nurse at the American Ambulance in Neuilly. The International's Red Cross was not affiliated with the American Ambulance Hospital of Paris. The American Ambulance Hospital of Paris, was a private, independent hospital, entirely financed by American contributions. It was formed in August 1914. The directors of the American Hospital of Paris (formed in 1906) offered their hospital to the French government to aid the wounded as soon as the war began. The initial idea was to emulate the American Ambulance Hospital that was created during the Franco-Prussian War of 1870 and erect hospital tents in the gardens that surround the hospital. The French government countered their offer and suggested they the Americans use the Lyceé Pastuer building instead. From that early beginning in 1914 the American Ambulance Hospital of Paris grew to become one of the premier hospitals in Paris. Because the Americans had dental surgeons on their staff, (a service most hospitals did not), the American Ambulance became the defacto institution for treating face and head wounds. The American Ambulance of Paris also had an auxiliary hospital that was independently financed by Mrs. Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney that was located in the College of Juilly. It was named the "American Ambulance Hospital B". Both hospitals were taken over by the United States Army once American entered the war in April 1917.
