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 big Midwest plant doing the work is well equipped to handle it in stride
