 Care for Wounded Animals
 The Canadian officer sa;d that along side of the Red Cross in France there is also the Blue Cross, an organization subsidiary 60 the Red Cross that takes care of the maimed and wounded hors- es and other war animals. This organi- zation is supported by the funds al- lotted Co it from the Red Cross. Its work has been humanitarian and useful in that many wounded horses have been saved for further usefulness, while others hopelessly crippled or wounded have been put out of thei.. misery.

And through all the horrors of many drives and advances, he had come through not much less a man than when he entered. although he had acquired leaky heart valves and an infected lung. still he was able to do his bit by going about and carrying the word 10 those at home to get in and do their bit for the boys over there
