Of getting our troops to Europe faced
the combined councils of Britain,
France and the United States, it was
an apparently impossible task.
But that job was putthrough by
the men in the army, the merchant

The prompt and effective housing
and supplying of our soldiers, in
France, the construction of depots
and transportation lines, the equip

ships, presented to the American lead
