- ↑ The hospital to which Robert Proust was posted at Étain was an "auxiliary hospital," administered by the Association des dames françaises (ADF), a partner of the French Red Cross (see Dr François Goursolas, "Chirurgie et chirurgiens d'une ambulance française en 1915," Histoire des sciences médicales, 1990, 24 (3-4), p. 246). Auxiliary Hospital no. 202 was installed in the Étain Boarding-school for Girls. The nurses, according to regulations, had to be members of the association which managed the hospital. Their "president" at that time would have been Marguerite Carnot (daughter-in-law of the President of the Republic Sadi Carnot), who governed the Association des dames françaises from 1913 to 1925.
