AMBULANCE DRIVER TO SPEAK

J. P. BROWN '14 WILL GIVE ILLUSTRATED TALK ON LIFE AT THE FRONT.

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

The talk by John Paulding Brown '14 (1L.), on "The Work of the American Ambulance at the Front," which was scheduled for tomorrow evening, will be given in the Living Room of the Union this evening at 8.15 o'clock. The lecture will be illustrated with slides made from photographs taken last spring in the French and British lines. The purpose of the talk is to give an idea of what the life of an ambulance driver at the front actually is.

Mr. Brown was in Europe at the outbreak of the war and in September joined the American Ambulance of Paris. During the week of the battle of the Marne the section to which he was attached did service in the neighborhood of Paris, following the armies back toward the Aisne as the fighting moved farther and farther away from the city. In October this section was attached to a British Red Cross unit with their base near Neuve Chapelle in Northern France and was later moved to Dunkerque and then to Eleverdingle, near Ypres in Belgium. At this last place the cars did the advanced field work usually done by the horse-drawn ambulances. Open only to members of the Union.
