Attached is an article from The Nation that recounts the structure and requirements of the Norton-Harjes Ambulance Corps and how deeply the French appreciated their voluntary service during the First World War.
“Mr. Harjes, head of the American Red Cross in France, is now associated with Mr. Norton in the general management of the American Volunteer Ambulance Service in the French Army. The great object is to increase the number of convoys now at work, for the demand is ever on the increase. A convoy consists, as a unit, of twenty ambulance cars, a lorry, a workshop-car and a kitchen car. Only cars of large and powerful make are adequate for the work.”
