65th General Hospital

The memorial features four life-size figures - an injured soldier, a physician, a nurse and a corpsman. The soldier appears to be trying to rise from the stretcher he is lying on while attended by the nurse. The doctor, dressed in surgical garb, is trying to hold the soldier down with his proper right hand while he beckons with his left hand towards the corpsman sculpture which is positioned 15 to 20 feet away. The corpsman is running towards the doctor, nurse and soldier. The sculptures are resting on a base of shale paving stones. A bronze plaque near the corpsman contains the inscription.
