This Middletown Journal article shares that the French Fourragère was awarded to the Sanitary Section No. 5 - the first American Sanitary Section to ever receive this decoration - for "splendid conduct before the enemy," and that the Section will soon receive its decorations, consisting of a red and green cord worn on the left shoulder. This Section is comprised of thirty-five members, fourteen of whom are ARMCO Ambulance Corps men. The Section's efforts in the battle on October 23, 1917 earned this recognition. The date and newspaper title of this newspaper clipping is a mimeographed reproduction. The original content of the date and newspaper title of this newspaper clipping was typed out and copied by ARMCO. Copies of this and other correspondence were then generally distributed to friends and family members of the ARMCO Ambulance Corps, and to ARMCO employees.</div>
