THE R.A.M.C. AND " RED CROSS MEN." (To THE EDITOR

OF THE " SPECTATOR.") SIR,—So much is written about the " Red Cross men" that I think it only fair to emphasize the fact that the R.A.M.C. are not British Red Cross Society men. The latter have done excellent work behind the lines at all times. As one of the R.A.M.C., I have " gone over " with " the poor boys," sharing the dangers as a common soldier. So much is written about hospitals, hospital trains, &c., that I think a word can be spared for those wbo, unarmed, were not conscientious objectors but merely NON-COMBATANT SOLDIERS.
