"Under the command of Lieutenant ROBERT DE KERSAUSON DE PENNENDREFF
and of the American officer HERBERT TOWNSEND, in August and September,
1916, effected the removal of the wounded of three divisions
successively in a particularly dangerous sector; has asked as a favor
to be permitted to maintain this service, in which officers and drivers
have given proof of the most brilliant courage and the most complete
devotion."
