Of all the diseases that broke out in central Europe during the last months of the war and following the armistice typhus assumed the greatest proportion, becoming epidemic in all the countries.
For a time there was a grave danger that it would spread to the Western part of the continent.
Early in January the American Red Cross sent medical units throughout that part of the world.
They carried with them medicines, hospital tents and equipment.
A systematic campaign was commenced to arradicate the scourge.
In the picture one of the Red Cross ambulances is seen in Serbia
bringing Typhus victims to the field hospital
