THE STORY OF THE AMERICAN LEGION
CHAPTER I
LATTER WAR DAYS IN FRANCE
I believe that the army of to-day, when it goes back to citizen
thinking and citizen acting, will be capable of so contributing
to the commonwealth of the United States as to change the
character of the whole country and lift it up to a higher plane.
BISHOP BRENT, _Senior Chaplain, A.E.F_.
Paris, March, 1919.
On a midsummer morning in 1918, ambulance after ambulance unloaded its
cargo of wounded humanity at a base hospital in Paris. The wounded
were being conveyed rapidly from the front and the entire hospital was
astir with nurses, surgeons, and orderlies.
