His medical training was interrupted by World War I, in which he served as an Army pathologist with the American Expeditionary Forces in France. Berry became the director of its first Surgical and Chest Surgical Division under Columbia University’s College of Physicians and Surgeons section. At the start of World War II, Roosevelt Hospital was asked to form the Ninth Evacuation Hospital with hospital staff, and Berry was appointed Chief of Surgery of the unit. The “Ninth Evac” was one of the earliest units ashore in the North African landing and the unit was far forward during the Tunisian campaign. The unit traveled extensively through Northern Africa, Sicily, Italy, France, and Germany before returning home. More
