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!"
