AFS in World War I


AFS began its operations in an auxiliary
military hospital, located in the high
school building of Lycée Pasteur in Neuilly-sur-Seine, Paris. This volunteer-
run, civilian-financed American
Ambulance, an extension of the nearby American Hospital of Paris, opened
its doors in September of 1914.
