HARVARD'S FIRST WAR UNIT SET SAIL THIRTEEN YEARS AGO

Thirteen years ago yesterday Base Hospital No. 5, a unit organized at Harvard University, set sail from America for France to take part in the World War. This unit was the first one to leave America after the latter's entrance into the world struggle.

The men were attached to the British army and were stationed between Dannes and Camiers, France, directly in the path of the German guns that were bombing France at the time.
