Our work here on this sector of the front is about three kilometres in length. We do it all, as there are no French ambulances here. We usually carry in a week about eighteen hundred wounded men and our mileage is always around five thousand miles. The authorities seem to be pleased with our work and we know that they have never called for a car and had to wait for it. At any rate, we have had the satisfaction of doing the best we could. C. H. H. [Illustration] _Three Croix de Guerre_ Several bombardments have taken place near the first-aid posts and hospitals where our cars are on duty. On the 6th, the Germans bombarded a road that runs along the top of a ridge several hundred yards from the post at Huss. One of the first shells landed on a farmhouse just below the road, in which some Territorials were quartered, killing three of them and wounding five others. Two of our men, accompanied by the _médecin auxiliaire_ of the post, immediately drove their cars over to the farm and rescued the wounded while the bombardment was still going on. As a result of this prompt and courageous action on their part, all three men were cited in the order of the division and will receive the _Croix de Guerre_. P. L. [Illustration: DECORATION OF CAREY AND HALE] [Illustration] _From Day to Day_ _October 26._ The head of the Sanitary Service of the French Government, accompanied by three generals, made a tour of inspection of all the units in this Sector to-day. Mr. L----, accompanied by Lieutenant K----, went to B----, where a formal inspection was held. Mr. L---- was thanked as Section Commander for the service rendered by Section Sanitaire Américaine N{o} 2. The remarks were exceedingly complimentary. General L---- and the _médecin divisionnaire_, who accompanied the party as representatives of the Sanitary Service in this Sector, added their compliments to those of General L----. _November 14._ We had the first snow of the season to-day. All the morning it snowed and covered the fields and trees with a thick coating of white. In the roads it melted and they became stretches of yellow slush. B---- broke his arm cranking his car this morning. He will be out of commission for three weeks, so the surgeon who set it informed him.
