The Augusta Barracken Hospital is on the outskirts of Budapest a characteristic product of the war, wholesale healing for wholesale maiming 1,000 beds and all the essentials, in what, two months before, was a vacant lot by the railroad tracks. The buildings are long, one-story, pine barracks, just wide enough for two rows of beds with an aisle down the centre.
