As the King and Queen and the Princess Mary walked around from ward to ward, crowds of American wounded, all dressed in hospital blue, clustered around them and they moved always through lanes of men whose bandages and crutches and splints told of heroism on the battlefields of France. The King was in a Field-Marshall's Khaki uniform

Major General John Biddle, commanding the American Army in Great Britain. He recently said: "I really do not know what the American Army would have done in England without the Red Cross. Everywhere the Red Cross is giving the best that can be given or asked for. Our men are being cared for as well as they can be. We in the army all feel a gratitude to the Red Cross which it is hard for me to express in words. Without the Red Cross it would have been impossible for us to have given camps the comforts and conveniences and happiness" which they have had in England
