They arc grouped riostlr in four or five larjrc hospitals and as far ax possible have been put together in large wards where they can proTid; plenty of companionship for one another. The Americans include both sick and wounded.

The wounded arc largely from the Fourth of July "show" which staged by tho Americans and Australians south of the Somme. "The Tanks and the Aussie get along fine together," said Srriroant Tomi nf mn fn the Associated Press, "and the combination is too much for Mr. Hunt The Germans have many good fighters but they are forced to admit that it is all up when they see the Americans and Australians coming after them." The alliance which the Anieri cans and Australians established in the Fourth of July push has been perpetuated in London hospitals by 'Brigading them together in hospital wards. The ward in which Sergeant Torrey and a dozen oilier Americana were hefag treated also contains ten Australians. Most of these men already are convalescent and spend the day swapping yarns on the sun porch.

Other nearby wards contain ninety more Americans and the convalescents are allowed to circulate freely about the hospital. They spend the day visiting fellow Americans, renew old acquaintances and making new ones.
