The Technology Ambulance Unit

The Technology Ambulance Unit was organized in the Spring of 1917 and sailed for France on June 25 on the Rochambeau, arriving in Bordeaux on July 4, 1917.

Originally set to enter the ambulance service, they found that there was an urgent need for men in the transport section. The unit volunteered to drive camions for the Réserve Mallet, with two exceptions:  Dinsmore Ely  (1894-1918) joined the Lafayette Flying Corps and F. B. Smith Jr. entered military service.
