APPEAL FOR NEW AMBULANCE
2 Nov
MESSAGE DESCRIBES BOMBING
An appeal for a new ambulance for the Scottish unit in Spain, to replace that destroyed in Friday's bombing at Parla, near Madrid, was contained in a cablegram received by Sir D. M. Stevenson in Glasgow yesterday. The message from Miss Jacobsen, the only woman member of the unit, stated: —
" Heavily bombarded on the Parla front. Watters, Girvan, Mahon and Jacobsen had miraculous escapes.
" Watters inconsolable about complete loss of his ambulance. Hopes Glasgow citizens will present him with another.
" Girvan's ambulance badly damaged by shrapnel, but being repaired."
