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. They bring little gifts of all kinds for the soldiers, and the Red Cross usually commandeer their services, also for the distribution of comfort bags and other Red Cross material to distant parts of the grounds. All these things are carried about in "hospital wagons", which are sometimes pilled by the young women visitors, and sometimes by the convalescent Americans

Vitliano Scambis is an Italian from New York. He has only taken out his first papers, but he is a real American and proud of it, despite the fact that his shoulder has been pretty well shot to pieces, his arm damaged and one of his eyes shot away, he greets everybody with a bright smile and says: "I gotta it very bad from those Huns. But if I had lost my life I would have been glad to give it for my country." Describing his brief stay in France to a Red Cross visitor, he said "I feel vera bad that I gotta it so soon, because I wanta to be out there a fighting. When I saw the poor French people and their cities all smashed, it broke my heart!" On another occasion he said, "American is my country. I want to go back to Italy and see my fodder and mudder for a few days after the war. Then I wantta go home to America!"
