For what it is worth, here is the Ft. Mills Station Hospital roster of Doctors as of 31 March 1942. I will post more docs of Ft. Mills as I find them on my hard drive. I have accumulated so much over the years that it will be a monumental task to categorize it all. Not because of time but of the ambition to do so. Attachments:

Just curious, Does anyone know what the abbreviations under the SERVICE column mean? I can figure out some, but couldn't find logical meanings when searching for the others MC = Medical Corp DC = Dental Corp ANC = Army Nurse Corp MD USA = Medical Department USArmy The ones I could not find are: Med Res I found Medical Research but that did not make sense. Dent Res MA Res Could the Res stand for residency or resident and MA for medical assistant? These guys might have been in some level of training still and not reached the full status of Doctor, Dentist or Medical Assistant. As i said, just curious thanks Patty

Could Res just stand for Reservist?

Hey Patty.....Chad doesn't have a monopoly on SWAGs. Here's mine. Note the difference in the SNs of the Majors. The six digit SNs belong to the Majors with Res after the name. The five digit SNs belong to the Majors with the service designations ala MC,DC,etc. Methinks you are correct in indicating that these Res labels denote Reservist. I think you have hit upon it. Am I making a lick of sense??? Probably not. It used to be so much easier to figure the "Regular, Reserve,Natl Guard, Draftee status,etc for enlisted AF, Army as regards Serial Numbers. Officers, that is another matter as far as I am concerned, but the disparity with these Majors tells me you are absolutely correct in thinking that "Res" tells us these doomed folks are Reservists, called up fill out TO&Es in the 1941 buildup in the PI. Postscript....I understand that these days, enlisted men have their Soc Sec Number for Serial Numbers. I can look at my old SN and determine that I was a Volunteer, from the region consisting of Okla,Tex,Louisiana,NMex, the recruiting district that included Tulsa,etc. I can't imagine using my Soc Security Number for a SN. The world is upside down. lol.

Hi Okla, I don't think they use SSNs anymore. When Chad was in, everything was under that. Now, looking at my son's green ID card he has a DoD ID Number that has no correlation to his SSN. He also has a Benefits Number that is different again. I think people threw fits awhile back about using SSNs. There was no way to keep them private. That is why after a Veteran's data base was compromised a few years ago, we now have to keep an eye on our credit stuff and watching for his info be stolen. Patty

Hi Patty,
I think Res stands for Resident. It is a common designation in many hospitals.

Good morning Fortman, That's what I though at first too. But almost all are listed as Res. That is too many for just a handful of drs to be in charge of. Plus I don't think the facilities on Corregidor were set up to be or large enough to be a teaching hospital. It just seems more likely to me that the Res does mean Reservist, much more "military" if you will.

Fort Mills Hospital, as it looks 2018-07-06 On the 6th to the 8th July 2018 I visited Corregidor and so far I only documented my first walk on the 6th of July. Here are 4 images: Zc397. 0ne of three images of my walk from Bottomside up to Battery Cheney on Corregidor Island, the former Fort Mills in WWII, 2018-07-06, this is the Hospital at Middleside. Zc398. 0ne of three images of my walk from Bottomside up to Battery Cheney on Corregidor Island, the former Fort Mills in WWII, 2018-07-06, this is the Hospital at Middleside. Zc399. 0ne of three images of my walk from Bottomside up to Battery Cheney on Corregidor Island, the former Fort Mills in WWII, 2018-07-06, this is the Hospital at Middleside. Zc400. 0ne images of my walk from Bottomside up to Battery Cheney on Corregidor Island, the former Fort Mills in WWII, 2018-07-06, this is the Commissary at Middleside. I was surprised to see the trolley heading to the Hospital passed the commissary here. The passengers were Philippine National Police Officers from n academy in Cavite. They are in the academy as a requirement for advancement and are on a fieldtrip. I spoke to one officer and he had never been on Corregidor. I do not know whether all visitors are taking to hospital or only this group. If you like to look at all the pictures of this walk, either click on my web page with 63 Images: philippine-sailor.net/2018/08/01/walk-to-battery-cheney-2018-07-06/ Or my Photobucket album with 66 images: Uploaded to the forum, Corregidor Current Affairs, Boy Scouts repaint Battery Wheeler corregidor.proboards.com/thread/1902/boy-scouts-repaint-battery-wheeler

Stewards Quarters at Hospital On our visit to Corregidor Glen wanted to have a look at Building #519, called the Hospital Stewards Quarters. It is a concrete 2 storey building in front of the hospital but it is one level down. It took a little effort to get down there and we did not dare go on the 2nd level. We were wondering, was this building wrongly named, perhaps it served another purpose. Z380.

Reference the question on the abbreviation "res" on the medical roster. Reference TM 30-205 DICTIONARY OD US ARMY TERMS, 1944, page 233, under the entry Reserve, number 3 definition reads" soldiers and sailors not in active service, but available for call. Abbrev: res.
