SERVICE OF MERCY
WOMAN FLIES TO WEST FRONT. CARRYING CONSIGNMENT OF BLOOD. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright. LONDON. December 21. On the West Front hard-boiled members of the air force were dumbfounded when they pulled up a plane and saw a dainty shoe and silk stockingthrust over from the cockpit. The owner followed, tucking a curl in her forage cap and smoothing her gold-banded uniform. It was an Englishwoman who left a son aged 10 and joined up with the blood transfusion transport service. She is the first airwoman to fly to the West Front and carried a consignment of blood.
