The American wounded arriving at Dartford Hospital (near London) are a cheerful and optimistic lot of fighters. They come to the base hospitals in England, direct from the battlefield, after receiving first-aid at the casualty clearing stations. The Red Cross meets them as soon as they land on English soil, sees that they are provided with their immediate necessities, and then prepared further for them at their destination. Twenty American women are on duty as Red Cross "visitors" at the Dartford Hospital and they meet every convoy of wounded

American Red Cross - Refugees - American Red Cross in North Russia. American soldiers and some children who they found starving near Archangel.

One of the soldiers volunteered to nurse the dying mother and her little girl. Another soldier was sent at once to American Red Cross headquarters, a trip of an hour and a half from this small outpost camp, for expert help and a trained nurse. The nurse left at once with the soldier traveling throug a blinding snow storm to the little peasant cottage
Where the Red Cross gifts go. Here is a consignment of boxes of good things from America which are being taken out of the big Red Cross warehouses in London. Each case is addressed "A.R.C.

The men handling the cases are Americans discharged from the British army for disability
King and Queen of England inspect Red Cross activities at the American Military Hospital, Dartford, near London. It was a beautiful sunny afternoon in the prime of England's autumn season, and the spacious grounds of the hillside hospital were dotted with groups of convalescent American soldiers when their Majesties arrived. As the King and Queen and the Princess Mary walked around from ward to ward, crowds of American wounded, all dressed in hospital blue, clustered around them and they moved always through lanes of men whose bandages and crutches and splints told of heroism on the battlefields of France. The King was in a Field-Marshall's Khaki uniform

Sunday afternoons at the big American hospital Dartford near London, the Red Cross usually has a talented visitor or two, someone who can go through the wards and sing a good song or tell a few funny stories, something to make the day a little different from the ordinary days. These little impromptu programs, five minutes to a ward, are very popular among the soldier patients, and a crowd of convalescents follows the entertainer around from ward to ward and listens at the window. On this afternoon it was a young woman singer who was the drawing card. She sang just the old songs, which after all are the ones the boys like best
Village women from Dartford, near London, visit American soldiers in new hospital just opened by American army there. Few of the visitors come empty-handed.

All these things are carried about in "hospital wagons", which are sometimes pilled by the young women visitors, and sometimes by the convalescent Americans
