Two men were killed and one injured when this building the headquarters of the Friends' Ambulance Unit at ... was "done in" by German bombs. A representative of the American Red Cross assigned to the Friends' Ambulance Unit by the Commission for Belgium, was sleeping on the third floor of this house. He came down on top of the debris and was not injured. The Friends' Ambulance Unit, to which the Red Cross gives regular financial aid, has worked with the Red Cross in its work of relieving the suffering among refugees driven out of the shelled portion of Belgium.
