Somewhere in The South
Pacific.—“I wish to thank
the American Red Cross for
doing more for my division
during our fighting in New
Guinea than could quite
reasonably be expected" said
Major General H. H. Fuller,
Commander 41st Division,
commending Field Director
Tom Montgomery, noted for
mer Stanford University ath
lete.
“It has been my personal
observation that while the
division was in combat the
American Red Cross pro
vided our fighting men with
many items of health and
comfort, recreation equip
ment and stationery. At
tached portable hospitals, as
well, were furnished with
radios and other supplies.
“This was taken care of
personally by yourself and
your associates under diffi
cult and trying circumstan
ces, and at times many miles
were covered by foot with a
heavy knapsack filled with
comfort items to be distri
buted to our men.”
RED CROSS WORKER
“FLIES” IN A JEEP

:
Somewhere In Italy.—Miss
Elizabeth G. Williams, Amer
ican Red Cross worker from
New Bern, N. C., probably
has the distinction of being
the only American girl to
“fly in a jeep” from Tunis
to Italy.
The jeep was loaded aboard
a plane in Tunis. Miss Wil
liams went along and be
cause of space shortage she
rode in the driver’s seat of
the tough little car as the
plane made its way over the
Mediterranean. When the
plane landed, out rode Miss
Williams in the jeep.
