A great crowd gathered about the Red Cross car which announced the signing of the armistice to the Americans at the big base hospital at Darford near London. As the car reached the larger ward buildings there was pandemonium. The man in the wheel chair forgets his aillments, and to the horror of his nurse, jumps up almost too fast for the camera, and rushed over to get one of the little news sheets which the Red Cross messenger is distributing

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

The "Victory Parade" at the American Base Hospital, Dartford, near London, on Nov. 11 when the signing of the armistice was announced. Many of the convalescent American soldiers in the parade carried noise-making insturments of such character as they were able to muster hurriedly. Some are shown with pots and pans, others with boards which could be banged together to add to the general din. Certainly everybody was hilariously happy and showed it

Christmas morning in the big American hospital at Dartford, near London. At seven o'clock the sunlight began to melt the fog from the windows. All the boys had hung up their socks, and Santa Claus the Red Cross Santa, had been there. The nurses and the Red Cross workers stood at one end of the fracture ward waiting for the boys to waken on their first Christmas morning in "Blighty." Without warning, a whoop echoed through the ward. "Wow!" exclaimed Private Edward Davidson of Brooklyn as he reached for his sock. "Wow! Wake up you guys! Santa Claus has been to Blighty!"

Mrs. Arthur Robinson of Baltimore is the Chairman of the Committee of American women "visitors" at the American hospital in Dartford, near London. When the boys first arrive, it is her duty to find out whether they are provided with clothing, whether they have toothbrushes and what are their immediate needs, and in addition to these and other things, what are the names of their nearest of kin. In talking to many thousands of men Mrs. Robinson who discover that the American boys almost invariably give the name of their mother as the next to kin. When she asks whether their father is dead, they say: "Oh, no, my father is living, but of course my mother is my nearest relation"

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

At the American Hospital at Dartford, near London everybody calls David Moran of 584 East 134th St., New York, the "Joke-Book Boy." This is why: One day in October, a little Joke Book, filled with clippings from American newspapers, arrived at R.C. Headquarters in London. It was prepared and forwarded by Ruth Naylor of 423 Ralph Ave. Brooklyn, who asked that it be given to some American soldier in hospital. It was turned over to Capt. Herbert S. Johnson of Boston to take with him on a visit to the Dartford hospital, which he made in company with General John Biddle, Commanding the Am. Army in Great Britain, and Miss Elsie Janis. The three of them looked over the joke book and liked it. The general said it was a fine thing for a little girl to do. And they all finall agreed to give it to David Moran, who has been making a wonderful fight for life at the hospital. It contains the autographs of Ruth Naylor, General Biddle, Capt. Johnson, and Elsie Janis, and Moran treasures it as one of his most beloved possessions

The great variety of men whom one encounters in a big American Base Hospital is a continuous evidence of the manner in which the rank and file of the army represents the whole country. One of the patients at the Dartford Hospital, near London, is a wounded man who is always reading, and the books which he reads are enough to give a headache to an ordinary man. On this occasion when Captain Herbert Johnson of Boston visited him on a Red Cross errand, he had three books in front of him, one a work of Pure Philosophy, another a book of Sociological Ethics and a third, related to some obtuse theory of evolution. This man is a graduate of three universities

Twas the night before Christmas and all through the hospital, not a creature was stirring. Just for old time's sake, hang up your socks, the nurses at the Dartford hospital told all the American boys and sure enough, by the time the morning sun began peeping in at the windows, the Red Cross Santa Claus has visited every bed and filled every stocking. On the splinted arm of Private Edward Davidson of Brooklyn, N.Y. Santa pinned an extra spray of holly, real English holly, picked in the hospital gardens. Davidson had lain six days in a shell hole and twelve weeks in a hospital unable to move while his injured arm was mending. "Poor Lad", said Santa, "We must make it a good Christmas for him"

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

Miss Fleenor happened to be out at Dartford talking with the men. Some of the boys learned that she had been speakers in the drive in America last Spring. "Why don't you make us a speech?" suggested Private John Anderson of Nashville. She replied that she didn't have any speeches ready except Red Cross speeches. "That's just what we want", said the crowd. So the men gathered around and listened to a regular "Drive" speech. At the end of the speech a young sergeant suggested, "But Miss, it don't seem right that just because we're over here we can't join the A.R.C. ain't there some way for us to be members" All those who want to join hold up your hands." said Miss Fleenor, and every hand in the room shot up as a general scramble ensued the room to see which man would be first to join

The "Victory Parade" at the American Base Hospital at Dartford, near London, on Nov. 11 when the signing of the armistice was announced. After the parade had marched all through the Hospital, somebody suggested that it go through the German prison camp, which is located behind a wide barb-wire enclosure a few hundred yards down the road from the hospital. So admission was obtained and the American parade marched all through the German Prison camp, enthusiastically applauded by the Germans, who were just as happy as anybody over the coming of peace. The regulations did not permit the photographer to take any pictures of the parade after is was inside the prison camp proper, but this picture is taken just at the entrance, the building in the background being the administration building and the barracks of the British staff which guards the prisoners. The spectators lined up along the route of the parade are all members of the British Guard. The Prisoners are all further in on a long hut barracks

What's going on inside? The scene is laid in the grounds of the big American hospital at Dartford near London. Convalescent American soldiers, American nurses and doctors and Red Cross men and visitors, are all seen running over toward one of the ward buildings, whose windows are wide open to the afternoon's sunshine. What's the attraction? It is one of the little Sunday afternoon "ward entertainments" arranged by the Red Cross to keep the boys who must remain in bed happy and bright. Some singer or story-teller, or even a ventriloquist or a conjurer, goes round the wards, giving a five minute entertainment in each. And the men on the outside enjoy it just as much as those inside

King and Queen of England inspect Red Cross activities at the American Military Hospital, Dartford, near London.
