In 1936, former members of the 21st asked the American Legion for permission to create a Legion Post restricted to those who had served with Base Hospital 21. Named the Rouen Post No. 242 of the American Legion, it was a rare American Legion Post established not by geographical place but by unit affiliation. First published in May 1936, The Rouen Post was a newsletter published by members of the American Legion Post. Many issues feature stories and recollections of the 21st’s members, including a series entitled “Recollections of a World War Nurse” penned by Retta Snyder – a St. Luke’s School of Nursing graduate who joined the unit in France. William Stack served as the editor and illustrator of The Rouen Post for most of its history. The Post was published monthly in the 1930s, but its frequency became more sporadic in the 1940s, apparently ceasing publication in the 1950s.
