Charlotte Children Cheer Wounded at Camp Greene With Program, 1919

From The Caduceus, Camp Greene, Charlotte, Feb. 1, 1919

Boys and Girls of City Bring Fine Cheer to Wounded

The series of readings and songs were arranged especially for the benefit of the wounded men, who gathered in a body for the program and whose presence seemed to call out the best efforts of the young entertainers. The program follows:
