Biographical / Historical
Alice Martin (Huffman) Bugel, R.N. (1917-2012) graduated from the University of Virginia School of Nursing in 1938. A Roanoke, Virginia native "Huffie" Bugel spent most of her life in Nashville, Tennessee, where, after World War Two, she worked as supervisor of the recovery rooms and surgical wards of the Veteran's Administration Hospital, retiring at her marriage in 1960. Bugel was commissioned first lieutenant in the Army Nurse Corps during the war, and served with her University of Virginia colleagues in the Eight Evacuation Unit Hospital, following the troops from North Africa to Sicily and the Italian peninsula. She volunteered for many years with the sewing club of the Vanderbilt University Hospital, producing items for use in the hospital, and was involved with the DAR and her local church. She dedicated herself to family life, raising three children, two from the widowed Dr. Bugel's first marriage and the daughter of their own.
Scope and Contents
The papers consist of materials principally related to Bugel's Eighth Evacuation Hospital service, including a citation and service award; period newspaper clippings; and an extensive collection of photographs taken at the hospital and on travels nearby. Also included are various documents and photographs relative to Eighth Evac alumni reunions.
Arrangement
Paper items are arranged in folders chronologically. The photograph collections, which had been removed from their original albums, have been organized where possible in album page order by date. Many are identified on the reverse in Bugel's own hand.
