Bill of 1977. The collection also contains research materials and publications relating to the history of the American Field Service (established in 1914 as a voluntary ambulance corps serving in wartime Europe, primarily France) during both world wars. The records, comprised of original documents, as well as photocopies thereof, were amassed by Joseph Porter Brinton, III, an ambulance driver with the American Field Service during World War II, who compiled the guide for their use.
