Administrative/Biographical History
William L. Funkhouser Jr. (1907-1993) was a major in the United States Army, and served as Chief of Operative Dentistry of the 43rd General Hospital, a unit organized at Emory University during World War II. The 43rd was demobilized and became affiliated with the Emory University School of Medicine in 1940. In September 1942, the unit was reactivated again at Camp Livingston, Louisiana. During their service in World War II, hospital personnel treated more than 16,000 patients at positions in North African, Italy, and France. The unit has been inactive since November 1968.
