MISS SELMA SAND is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Sand of Petersburg. She
entered the service as a Red Cross Nurse on February 20, 1918, being assigned to her
first duty in the service at Camp Custer Mich. On August 15, 1918 the call came for
overseas duty and by Sept. 16th the convoy that Miss Sand crossed the Atlantic with
war under way. In spite of the Influenza aboard the ship and the submarines in the
danger zone, she arrived safely in Glasgow, Scotland on September 29th. She was soon
sent on to France and when she arrived at her destination she was placed in charge
of a ward at Mars sur Alleir where she remained until January 20, 1919. She was then
