Medical staff of the 13th at the U.S Army Station Hospital, ca. 1942

from State Library of Queensland

• Vesna Verencevic said:

  "Station Hospitals rendered general medical and surgical treatment for those areas where there were sufficient military populations to justify their maintenance, but not sufficient to justify General Hospitals. They were usually located at most Posts, Camps, and Stations for hospitalization of local personnel. In the Zone of Interior, such Hospitals were housed in buildings and received names, while in the Communications Zone, they were set up in tentage or improvised housing, and here they were numbered. Bed capacities varied from 25 to 900." Source: www.med-dept.com/articles/ww2-military-hospitals-general-...

  This would have been around the time of the Battle of The Coral Sea when American Defence personnel were based in Brisbane and Townsville to help defend the Pacific Region.
