ROSS BENJAMIN IN FRENCH HOSPITAL

Mrs. Ida Benjamin has just received a letter from her son, Ross, in France, dated Jan. 2. He states that he had been quite ill in a hospital for about two-Weeks and a half but was better and expected to be able to get out in a few more days. He said he was in a nice little hospital about three miles out from Colombey, and that they were well taken care of. He is situated in an aviation camp at Colombey, fifteen miles southeast of Nancy, and says the camp is getting larger every day instead of smaller and there is no prospect of him getting home very soon. He is superintendent of A. P. O. 731 A and in a former letter said he had eleven helpers, which was not nearly enough.
