BENET GOES BACK .
FOR WAR SERVICE
Veteran of Medical Corp* of Two

Dr. George Benet of Columbia,
has again sailed for the war zone and
will be in service there for the duration
of the war. Since Dr. Benet returned
from service in the army hos* ?

surgical staff of the Huntington Memorial
hospital at Boston. Upon the
declaration of war Dr. Benet went
to Washington and offered his services
to the secretary of war and
Surgeon General Gorgas. Acting
under their instructions he has been
sent abroad on a special mission, the
details of which he is not at liberty
to divulge. It is understood, however,
that he will be attached to the
first unit of American troops sent
over.
Dr. Benet has had various experience
in this war, having gone to
France in 1914 with the American
ambulance hospital, Paris. From
there he went in the French army
service, having charge of a hospital !
near Compiegne, three miles back of
the lines. Then he transferred to
the British service at one of the big
base hospitals back of the British
lines in northern France. With the
British Dr. Benet had the rank of
captain.
Dr. Benet wrote a number of letters
from France which have been I
published in the newspapers of the
State. It is a matter of interest that
the Col. Goodwin of the English <
army, mentioned in one of these letters,
is the same Col. Goodwin now
in this country as a member of the
British commission. Capt Benet
stated that Col.- Goodwin had been
in charge of the hospital forces at
the battle of the Marne and that he
had performed the most remarkable
feat in the history of that service '
ever recorded. After the retreat i
from Mons Col. Goodwin and his
men reported finally with every
wounded and sick man that they had
receipted for. The devotion to duty
and attention to detail which that
statement implies were graphically
described in Capt Benet's letter.
