Mrs. Hilda Wynne has youth, beauty, wealth and fascination--she cast
them all into the great pool of the war in Europe, and added bravery to
them--a limitless bravery. She wears the Croix de Guerre, the gift of
France. King Albert of Belgium decorated her with the Order of Leopold,
and Russia honored her with the Order of St. George. These rare
distinctions she won by unique service. She drove her ambulance between
the first trenches. Back and forth she went, driving her automobile
at furious pace with the fire pouring upon her from the allies on one
side and the Germans on the other, but a mile separating them. Her
unit worked between the first trenches, the only workers permitted
to operate on this danger line. Mrs. Wynne and her organization, the
Bevan-Wynne Unit, have saved more than 25,000 lives of wounded that but
for her speedy aid would have been lost. She then came to America for
the specific purpose of interesting Americans in the needs of Russian
soldiers.
