RED CROSS IS GOOD TO THE SAMMIES

The Red Cross canteens where the soldiers get real coffee nice and hot, and sandwiches—Just like the Sammies were used to getting at home—is the Joy and comfort of the men as they are traveling. After a long wait at some station, a “swallow" of that coffee and a "bite" of one of those sandwiches is their chief desire. And the canteens are always there with mounds of goodies to serve them. The Red Cross treatment has won the hearts of the soldiers.
