Title	MAMAS Headquarters, La Mostra, Naples, 1944
Creator	Shaffer, Melvin C.
Description	La Mostra, Naples after being taken over by the Medical Services. A few years before the war Bennito Mussolini had built a World's Fair-type exhibition on the outskirts of Naples. Its purpose was to display Italian products and culture. When Allied forces captured Naples in early 1944, the fair or La Mostra was requisitioned and converted into a very large Medical Center, housing several General Hospitals, including the 15th Medical General Laboratory and the 3rd detachment, Medical Museum and Arts Service. Very little alteration was done to the buildings; they were completely outfitted with water, sewer, and electricity lines and, within a period of only three weeks, all were ready and casualties were being cared for. From here, a wounded soldier was either evacuated to the U.S. -- or sent back to duty.
