Ambulance Given In Memory of Reporter

The first ambulance over dedicated to the memory of a foreign correspondent was presented yesterday to the British American ambulance service by the New York Herald Tribune's 1000 employees in commemoration of Ralph Barnes '24.

Barnes was killed last November when a British bomber in which he was travelling crashed in Albania. For more than 10 years, he had been a foreign correspondent in France, Italy, Germany, and England.

He was in London when the war broke out in 1939 and went across the Channel with the British Expeditionary forces, "changing sides" in April, 1940, to cover the German army. However, his dispatches were not well regarded by the Foreign Office, which ordered him to leave the country. He was then placed in charge of the Herald Tribune bureau in Athens, his last position.
