_Monsieur,--_
My attention has been called to the eminent services rendered to the
Sanitation Service by American Automobile Sanitary Section No. 2,
which is under your direction, and especially to the zeal and courage
with which it carried succour to our wounded in the Pont-à-Mousson
district.
I have learned with pleasure that your unit as a whole, and the greater
number of its members, have been mentioned in the orders of the day of
the 73rd Reserve Division.
I make it my duty to extend to American Automobile Sanitary Section No.
2, the sincere gratitude of the War Department.
