My dear Miss Phillips: I have a statement about the status of the American Ambulance at Neuilly prior to July, 1917 when it became American Red Cross Military Hospital, No.l:- "Specifically to answer your question I would say without any hesitation that the American Ambulance was a French Military hospital and doubt that the American personnel were I have registered no Ministry of War that and in the have a war record there. Assuining this is correct, the youns woman in question would be entitled to themberchip in the Lagion as one who had served with an Allied Foreign Govornment. I might add only that it is quite possible that the contract between such person- nel referring to Americans in French hospitals, was not as binding in its nature 8.8 our oath of enlistment but it was sufficiently so to establish military sorvice". Sanford H. Wadhems, Colonol, Medical Department, (Retired). If then "any American eitizen who served with an Allied Foreign Government is eligible for Legion Member- ship", Miss Margaret A. stryker is eligible to such member- ship. Sincerely yours, Julie C.
