Ambulance Volunteer Hero Returns Home in Toledo
William Barber, 21, former Oberlin student, was shot through lungs and thigh yet kept driving his ambulance to safety near a base hospital in France. He survived, earned the Medaille Militaire and Croix de Guerre, and now shares his story in a local American Ambulance Field Service exhibition with Lt Roeder to explain the war work. Proceeds support the service and equipment.
