M’CORMACK SINGS FOR SICK SOLDIERS

John McCormack, famous Irish -tenor, sang for the 200 convalescing soldiers from Base Hospital No. 1 on a trip up Long Island sound on the steam yacht Surf. The men were transported to the ship by the women’s motor corps under command of Maj. Helen Bastedo. The photograph shows McCormack on the deck singing to a very attentive audience.
