FAITH IN RED CROSS.
Confidence Of Wounded Tribute
to Organization.
Devotion to Duty While
Under Fire.

Chicag hat could any army do

h Ronald Kingsley, late Of the Fifty
eighth Canadian infantry, who Is a vet
\ eran Of the French front permanently
discharged because Of injuries re-
Y ceived In battle. 5...s.z:
Sergeant Kingsley answers his own
question.
81 think that probably the greatest
tribute that can be paid to- the Red
Cross is the confidence Of the wounded
man. He feels that no matter how
badly wounded he may be, If once he
!. gets to the Red Cross man his life is
safe. 3.} RI 81. .js v
Il witnessed an incident during the
battle of the Somme which I shall
never forget. "a Red Cross officer and
four stretcher bearers came to the sup.
port trenches for some wounded men,.
The officer raised a. Red Cross flag in
plain view Of the Germans and with
his men began to dress the wounds and
finally to put the soldiers on stretchers.
AS they walked off the Germans delib-
erately fired on the party and the Off
I Ger went down. He got up and started
+ again, but was hit second time and
did not get up. &. . ;E4- III:
Almost at the, same time we heard
/ a salvo of German three-inch shells,
which wounded all the stretcher-bea
ers and the wounded soldiers received
4 new wounds. Yet, in spite Of this, an.
other Red Cross party that same day
went out and brought in wounded men,,
Need one say anything more2 ! think

The work Of the Red Cross on the
battlefield goes on night and day. In
variably the men and the ambulances
are In range Of enemy guns, Devotion
to duty haracterizes the Red Cross
: workers and the American boys are
stimulated by this assurance.
