Thomas D. Gardner Has Helped Camp Since June
Without
a cent of pay Thomas D. Gardner has given his services as head of the Red Cross
organization of Camp Greene since the first of last July. By his untiring
efforts to aid the medical work and to help individuals who seek information
from the Red Cross he has made himself one of the most highly respected men in
the camp. It was largely through the efforts of Thomas D. Gardner that the Red
Cross building was obtained for the base hospital.
The
home of Thomas Gardner is in Quincey, Illinois. He had retired from the
practice of dentistry when the war broke out and he felt called upon to give
his service for humanity. He came to Camp Greene on July 1. He had volunteered
for overseas service and was to have gone with Evacuation Hospital No. 30 as
soon as he could be relieved here, but the end of the war has stopped short all
such plans.
