The Secretary of War, Newton D. Baker, visits American wounded at the American Hospital in Dartford, near London, and distributes Red Cross comforts. It was a drizzling London Sunday afternoon but a number of the convalescents met Secretary Baker down the lawn as he came up towards the hospital buildings with General John Biddle (commanding the American forces in Great Britain and General F.A. Winter, commanding the American Medical Corps in Great Britain.) General Winter, on the left, comes from Broad Run, Virginia; General Biddle, on the right in long ulster, comes from Detroit
