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. Worth Their Weight In Gold.
