Red Cross on the Battlefield
Let us take .6ff our hats to the
Red Cross men on the battle field.
Splints are put on nearer the battle
front In the American army today
than anywhere else along Nd Mans |
Land And this is done in the hell
fire of the trenches, the Red Gross
man often risking his life to bandage
properly some wounded man before /
he moves him. So well done are
most of the bandages, too, that at
the field hospital many times no
further care is needed and the I
wounded are relayed to the hospital
trains and the base hospitals.
Its canteens
Worn soldier boys from the trench :
es. heme sick soldier boys after a
hard sNaEs work, the Red Cross
gives tirena. a bit Of home in its can
teen hospital rooms. Friendly as
sociates. music, refreshing entertain1i
ment for body and mind. These
canteens are Red Cross hospitals
for the spirit; always open. ALWAYS
cheering.
Red Cross Laundries
Five large American portable latin- |!
dries have been installed at base
hospitals by the American Red Cross
and they are a real novelty in France
Paris
During air raids or long range bonn
bardments of the French capital, the
American Red Cross ambulances
have invariably been first on the
scene of any casualties.
