A black and white photo of a group of people. Office of War Information Photograph

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

The last American wounded arriving from the front at the Salisbury Hospital, erected by the American Red Cross at Southampton, England. They are unloaded by the boys of the Kentucky unit now on duty at this base hospital
