October arid I am glad to he able to slate that the Unit has received sub stantia aid from the American Red Cross and from the Canadian Red Cross and it has thus been able lo largely replace its equip ment which was lost in the retreat All further possible aid is required and will lie welcome Subscriptions for the Unit may as heretofore be sent to Gregory Treasurer for Canada Ray St Toronto Ont Oct The evacuation began that evening The object was to carry to the new base materia for a hospital This together with a portion of the hospital staff left Ihe Villa at and the remainder of the nurses followed at rest of the cars being already packed with the material of the carsection and of the Unit as a whole after a few hours opportunity for sleep if or the drivers who had just come in The conditions of the retroat proved to be very much more difficult than had been ex pected The crush was such that it was several hours before the last column could get half a mile away from Villa Trento and this condition of things kept recurring at intervals until fin ally on the main roads converging on the Bridge over Ihe the difficulties of transit were insurmountable to large portion of the cars A number of the cars had lo be abandoned in the crush by order of the officers in order to save the personnel as further progress was absolutely for these cars It is worth mentioning that earlier in the day at a point on the road farther back some of pur cars had come under the fire of an Austrian detachment near Udine Colonel escorted a parly of our nurses safely across the bridge on foot- In following days every member of the Unit arrived safely at Padua together with more than half the cars in the circumstances a highly satisfactory result which was only attained by the mag- endurance and cheerfulness of all the nurses officers and men The complete loss of the material of the Hospital which had been distributed among some of the lost cars in itself brought Hospital section of the Unit to an end It also appeared in advisable to keep more women in the country than were neces sary for service and all the nurses therefore were sent back from to England except the Matron the Housekeeper and two assistants who came with us to our new base to provide for the medical and domestic needs of the car section The place selected is the rural village of a place excellently suited for purpose I wish lo lay stress on Ihe fact that this is the first time the Unit has been in repose sinco It came out in August G M Trevelyan A recent letter from David Rogers of Toronto who was in
