DeWitt General Hospital was a U.S. Army installation activated in 1944 in Auburn, California, built primarily to receive casualties from the Pacific theater. Like other large military hospitals of the period, it operated an internal scrip system to facilitate small transactions within the facility — the PX, canteen, and similar services — without requiring soldiers and staff to handle official currency on the ward.
The Camp and Canteen series cataloged by Campbell (Camb#7950) documents dozens of such localized issues, most destroyed when the facilities closed. DeWitt was deactivated in 1946, which brackets this note's entire possible circulation to roughly two years.
