Title
Bushnell General Hospital "No Help Wanted" amputee Rehabilitation 1945
Description
This film about helping disabled veterans of World War II to help themselves back into civilian life was shot mostly at Bushnell General Hospital in Brigham City, Utah in 1945. It was produced by the National Association of Mutual Casualty Companies (NAMCC) for the American Legion.
These men helped Franklin Roosevelt save democracy. We owe them a tremendous debt of gratitude.
J.R. Farrar is shown in several scenes. I would really appreciate help with identifying the other men and women featured in this film. I am especially interested in the civilian bilateral arm amputee who introduced the film and narrated it.
The construction of Bushnell General Hospital was begun a couple months after Pearl Harbor. It was substantially complete by the end of 1942 and accepted its first Army casualties in the Fall of that year. The hospital operated until 1947.
This film was preserved as a 16mm print for 50 years by J.R. Farrar and then transferred to NTSC videotape in 1995. It was digitized in February 2011.
