 | Laura Frost is surrounded by her hospital's ambulance corps at Villers-Cotterets, France. |
| A photo from Laura Frost Smith's album shows two nurses on the rubble of a Belgian plane near Ypres. When the war ended, the nurses could visit the areas of devastation. |  |
 | The nurses of Evac 5 worked under primitive conditions. Hand-washing supplies was part of the job. Nurses worked eight hours on and eight hours off, around the clock.

 | With the war ended, Laura Frost was able to take breaks from her job of caring for the wounded and traveled through parts of Europe. Here she's shown in front of Palais Garnier (Paris Opera) in spring of 1919. Courtesy of Laura Frost Smith
