Amis de France; . RS, gesticulatingavec son bras de puits et donner comme il est allé un viviviycompte de ce qui s'est passé. Certains ont commencé à Marseillaise et, en quelques minutes, ils chantaient. J'ai entendu des foules de football chanter après l'avictory et j'ai entendu d'autres foules chanter des chansons, Buti n'ont jamais entendu une chanson d'une telle exultation sauvage que l'un. C'était énorme. Je souhaite que le germansgould l'ait entendu. Peut-être ont-ils fait! Ils se sont jusqu'à présent enotés, et le son semblait s'attarder sur les collines pendant quelques minutes après la dernière note a été chantée. Notre travail ici sur ce secteur du front est

Friends of France; . rs, gesticulatingwith his one well arm and giving as he went a livelyaccount of what happened. Some one started theMarseillaise and in a few minutes they were allsinging. I have heard football crowds sing after avictory and I have heard other crowds sing songs, butI have never heard a song of such wild exultation asthat one. It was tremendous. I wish the Germanscould have heard it. Perhaps they did! They werenot so far away, and the sound seemed to linger andecho among the hills for some minutes after the lastnote had been sung. Our work here on this sector of the front is aboutthree kilometres in length. We do it all, as there areno French ambulances here. We usually carry in aweek about eighteen hundred wounded men and ourmileage is always around five thousand miles. Theauthorities seem to be pleased with our work and weknow that they have never called for a car and had towait for it. At any rate, we have had the satisfactionof doing the best we could. C. H. H. 177 FRIENDS OF FRANCE. Three Croix de Guerre Several bombardments have taken place near thefirst-aid posts and hospitals where our cars are onduty. On the 6th, the Germans bombarded a roadthat runs along the top of a ridge several hundredyards from the post at Huss. One of the first shellslanded on a farmhouse just below the road, in whichsome Territorials were quartered, killing three ofthem and wounding five others. Two of our men, ac-companied by the midecin auxiliaire of the post, im-mediately drove their cars over to the farm and res-cued the wounded while the bombardment was stillgoing on. As a result of this prompt and courageousaction on their part, all three men were cited in theorder of the division and will receive the Croix de Guerre. - P. L. 178
