CAIRO, Egypt, Feb. ia group
of SO American volunteer ambulance
drivers has arrived in the Middle
East. Many of them are Young men
who cut short their college courses
and others are lawyers, bankers, au-
thors statesmen and foresters who
sacrificed these peace-time jobs to
serve here without pay.
These men have come from "a
| States of the Union. Much has
happened since their departure from
America. as they left before Japan's
| attack at Pearl Harbor. They ought
| to be tired and diSgruntled after
their long voyage. but these drivers
of the American Field Service have
grins on their faces and they are
tuning up the cars which will carry
them off to the action they came TO
! find.
other contingents of the Ameri-
can Field Service are on the way
to offer their services to the
wounded in this region. Still more
are to follow, but this lot, still
bit self-conscious in new uniforms,
is the first to get of to the front
and 1t is proud of the honor.
