American Red Cross Franco-American Canteen somewhere in France.
Canteen which is located in the cellar.
This canteen is established in a very exposed post where the men all live in shelters.
The canteen is in the cellar of the house, and sand bags are piled up at the entrance above ground.
The house is a complete ruin nothing remaining except the stone floor on the ground which protects the canteen underneath, and this floor is covered several feet deep with sand bags.
This post is under intermitted bombardment most of the time and only a few days ago
the convoyer had the door of his shelter blown in.
Everyone was forced to remain underground all day
between 1917 and 1920
