Description
This photograph was originally issued with the following caption: "The Salvation Army, as usual, is doing splendid work in the forward areas during the advance of our troops into Syria. Here, at Saiada the "army" car rests for a while and a crowd of visitors drops in to listen to the latest news from the outside world. The Salvation Army is creating a new record of service in this war that will prove a source of proud satisfaction and inspiration to its officers in the future." Major Albert Moore, the Salvation Army chaplain who drove the van, later recalled that "we were machine gunned twice by French planes in this position".
