Red Cross.
Secretary, Red Cross Cnapter,
Dear Madam:
There has recently been organ
ized as a part ot' the 31st Division
of the U. S. Army, composed of
the National Guard units of Geor
gia, Florida and Alabama, a sani
tary train, known as the 196th
Sanitary Train. This train is com- 1
posed of the following organiza
tions: Alabama Field Hospital,
Florida Field Hospital and Geor
gia Field Hospitals Numbers 2 an 1
3. (Field Hospitals Nambers 2
and 3 were formerly known as
“Georgia Field Hospital No. 1”)
and four ambulance companies.
The purpose of these units is
the rendering of first aid to the
injured on the battlefield and the
emergency treatment of these pa
tients in the field hospitals until
they can be sent back to the base
hospitals.
This train, oarticularly the Geor
gia Field Hospitals, is in great
need of about one hundred re
cruits at once. These recruits
will enlist for the 10th Sanitary
train and then be assigned to one
of the different units composing
the same.
In writing this letter I am en
deavoring to secure the aid of the
local Red Cross chapters over the
state in helping us fill up these
vacancies, particularly in the Geor
gia units, with high grade young
men, from the state at large of
good moral character and good
appearance, who are interested in
the work of the Medical Depart
ment. \
The personnel of the Georgia
Field Hospitals is of the highest
type of young manhood the coun
try affords and it is not desired to
lower the standard.
These units, in all probability
will see early service in France
and it is my desire that you bring
this matter to the attention of the
members of your chapter and ask
them to aid me in getting a suf
ficient number of desirable men
for these vacancies within the
next ten days. This wiii probably
be the last opportunity for men to
“come in out of the draft” and
serve under two flags, the Star
Spangled Banner and the Red
Cross.
Won’t you kindly do all that you
can to help us fill these vacancies
at once ? Please have this letter
published in your local papers and
instruct any men interested to
write, wire or call in person to see
me within the next ten days at the
General Recruiting Office, 508
Post Office Bldg., Atlanta, Ga.
Thanking you in advance for
your kindnes,
I am yours very truly,
C. F. Holton,
Major, Medical Corps, U. S. N.G.
