yes, it should be

verandAraum

and

voM Red Cross

... to read

veranda room in a Russian military hospital; a Russian general physician and French Red Cross sisters

(sisters referring to nursing sisters)

here is an example from a US military hospital showing recovering soldiers on the screened veranda

I googled for that by the way

I think that should read "from" rather than "forwards"
