  Landwehr, or Landeswehr, is a German language term used in referring to certain national armies, or militias found in nineteenth- and early twentieth-century Europe. In different context it refers to large scale, low strength fortifications. In German, the word means "defence of the country"; en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Landwehr

  Suwalki is a town, now in Poland, close to the northeastern part of the country, near the border with Lithuania, the exclave of Russia that used to be East Prussia, and Belarus. It was the scene of fierce Eastern Front fighting between the Russians, Austrians and Germans during the spring of 1915. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suwa%C5%82ki_Region A contemporary account: www.freefictionbooks.org/books/n/3384-the-new-york-times-... That's a pretty grim hospital...
