MICHELIN DURING THE WAR
THE MICHELIN HOSPITAL
When the Great War broke out, Michelin at once converted an immense new four-storied warehouse into an up-to-date Hospital, with Operating Theatre, X-Ray, Bacteriological Laboratory, etc. Seven weeks later (September 22, 1914) Doctors, Dispensers, Nurses, Sisters of Mercy, and auxiliaries were all at their posts. The first wounded arrived the same night. In all, 2,993 wounded were received.
All expenses were paid by Michelin.
The story of how Michelin did "his bit" during the war is told briefly and simply in the illustrated booklet, "The Michelin Hospital", sent post free on application.

Transcriber's Notes.
1. Silently corrected simple spelling, grammar, and typographical errors.
2. All illustrations and their captions have been centered. References within the text (e.g "see sketch-map opposite" have been changed to "see sketch-map above/below".
3. Page 24: Illustration caption should read "General Rawlinson". Caption corrected.
4. Page 72: There ia a cross-reference to a photograph of Moreuil Château on page 28. There is no photograph on this page. There is a photograph on page 27 where a large building can be seen in the backround. This may be the photograph that the guide refers to. No changes have been made to the text.
5. Page 96: The original reads "The Liberation [on] Montdidier. (August 8-10, 1918.)." This is probably an error and should read "The Liberation [of] Montdidier. (August 8-10, 1918.)." Text not changed.
6. Page 123: (from Mareuil to Thiescourt). Missing bracket added.
