Notes:
During World War I, the Australian YMCA played an important role in caring for the troops, both prior to departure and on the battlefields. This slide is part of Springfield College's collection of lantern slides depicting war work performed by the Australian Y.M.C.A. during World War I.
Text on border reads, "Paris Cafe. fall Aust. YMCA"; This image shows some very slight deterioration due to foxing.
