Ostrovo Unit

The Ostrovo Unit was a hospital unit of 200 tents situated near Lake Ostrovo during the First World War under the command of the Serbian Army. It was often called The America Unit as the money to fund it came from America.

At the America Unit were many notable Australian women, including Agnes Bennett, Mary de Garis and the novelist Miles Franklin.
