Andrew, who was the director of the American Ambulance Field Service, offers a detailed narrative of how young American men, moved by a sense of duty and friendship toward France, traveled to Europe to assist in the war effort. The book provides a vivid description of their dangerous missions, transporting wounded soldiers from the battlefields to field hospitals, often under heavy artillery fire. The courage, dedication, and sense of camaraderie among these volunteers are central themes throughout the text.The book also highlights the impact of their work on French-American relations, emphasizing the deep bond forged between the two nations through this humanitarian service. Through personal stories, letters, and photographs, Friends of France not only documents the heroism of these volunteers but also serves as a tribute to their selfless service in a time of unprecedented global conflict.
