Sixty-seven years ago this month, the Ninth General Hospital (an image of which was featured recently as a "Treasure of the Week") suffered through a massive monsoon while stationed on Goodenough Island off the southeastern coast of New Guinea.

Archives staff recently processed the Records of the Ninth General Hospital and are eager to share its story.
