Description

This image was originally released by the Department of Information 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."
