Early D-Day morning, survivors and casualties were brought on board from an Allied minesweeper which had hit a mine and sunk the preceding evening. They were picked up by another minesweeper and given emergency first aid, but their medical supplies were nearly exhausted. Allied LSTs had been fitted out as temporary hospital ships with two Navy doctors and an Army doctor, as well as several pharmacist mates. Operating rooms had been rigged up in the rear of the tank deck and screened off. These improvised and rough facilities did much to save lives before moving the victims further to the rear and more sophisticated medical treatment.
