              American Field Service Bulletin
 No 6.
  August 8. 1917.

  This week is the turn of Section 29 to suffer in the long list of mishaps which have occurred in the American Field Service.  On the night of August 3rd. Julian Allen, Cdt. Adj. of Section 29 was at the relay post of their poste de secours.  Having just received word from there that another car was immediately needed, he left the abri to give the necessary order to John V. Newlin who was waiting with his ambulance.  At that moment a shell exploded smashing the car to pieces and wounding both Allen and Newlin.  Allen's injuries we are glad to report are but slight and he will be evacuated to Paris in a few days.  Newlin, however, sustained more serious injuries and died from their effects in a hospital at the front on Sunday night, Aug. 5th.  He came from Whitford, Pa., was a student at Princeton University, and was 19 years of age.
