DARTMOUTH AMBULANCE DECORATED
August 1917

Dartmouth officials have recently received word that the section of the American Ambulance field service, of which, the Dartmouth College automobile No. 1 forms a part, has been for the third time decorated by the French war department. This is the machine that was wrecked when Richard T. Hall '15 was killed while fighting in the Verdun sector last fall. The translation of the French citation is as follows:

"Under the orders of Lt. Ballaert and the American leader, A. B. Mason, the automobile sanitary section No. 8, attached to the 126th division, in the Verdun sector, has rendered the greatest service. It made itself conspicuous especially during the period of the 7th to the 10th of March, 1917, when all officers and drivers were greatly admired under the bombardment because of their dash, self-possession and their most absolute devotion."
