My mother was in the hospital with an acute case of cellulitis from a dental extraction.

There were generals at her bedside determining if she was sick enough to have penicillin as it was in scarce supply.

She heard her unit fly over on their way to D-Day.

She was stationed in England. Went over on the Queen Mary, which was converted into a troop transport.
