They are many
and, I am positive, will always have grateful thoughts of you.
I have seen you enduring hardships--going without food and sleep, working
day and night, sometimes under fire, both shell and avion--and never have
you been anything but cheerful and willing.
I thank you and your organization for all of this, and assure you of the
respect and gratitude of the entire division.
J. I. MABEE, Colonel, Medical Corps,
Division Surgeon.

The Salvation Army, New York:
As Inspector General of the First Division I have inspected all the
Salvation Army huts in this Division area and I am glad to inform you that
your work here is a well-earned success. Your huts are warm, dry, light,
and, I believe, much appreciated by all the men in this Division. To make
these huts at all homelike under present conditions requires energy and
ability. I know that the Salvation Army men in this Division have it and
am very willing to so testify.
CONRAD S. BABCOCK, Lieut.-Colonel,
Inspector General, First Division.
"The Salvation Army keeps open house, and any time that a body of men come
back from the front lines, in from a convoy, there is hot coffee and
sometimes home-made doughnuts (all free to the men).
