Physical Description
Text: YMCA - Cabled From France August 21st, 1918 - "A sense of obligation for the varied and useful service rendered to the army in France by the Y.M.C.A. prompts me to join in the appeal for its further financial support. I have opportunity to observe its operations, measure the quality of its personnel and mark its beneficial influence upon our troops, and I wish unreservedly to commend its work for the Army." - Pershing - United War Work Campaign - November 11-18, 1918
