Mary Malcolm (from North Adams, Massachusetts) of the American Red Cross and driver Steve Wilczynski (from Omaha, Nebraska) collect flowers from the American Information Bureau in Winchester to take to the American hospital, also in Winchester. The flowers have been collected from local gardens for this purpose. The various signs on the windows of the Bureau read 'The services of this bureau are placed at the disposal of all members of the USA forces. Information and advice on travelling and hospitality will be readily given'; 'Canadians we are at your service'; and 'Americans welcome to this city'. The Bureau is housed in what was once the shop of the J R Wood Coal and Coke Company Ltd.
