_Three Croix de Guerre_
Several bombardments have taken place near the first-aid posts and
hospitals where our cars are on duty. On the 6th, the Germans bombarded
a road that runs along the top of a ridge several hundred yards from
the post at Huss. One of the first shells landed on a farmhouse just
below the road, in which some Territorials were quartered, killing
three of them and wounding five others. Two of our men, accompanied by
the _médecin auxiliaire_ of the post, immediately drove their cars over
to the farm and rescued the wounded while the bombardment was still
going on. As a result of this prompt and courageous action on their
part, all three men were cited in the order of the division and will
receive the _Croix de Guerre_.
