While living in Paris at the start of the First World War, Bliss and her husband helped found the American Ambulance Field Service [later the American Field Service] in France, to which they donated an entire section of 23 ambulances and three staff cars. They opened and equipped a central depot in Paris for the distribution of medical and surgical supplies and clothing. As vice-president of the Comite Franco-Americaine pour la Protection des Enfants de la Frontiere, Mildred Bliss also helped establish centers in France for the care of Belgian and French children orphaned or displaced during the war. For her work during the war she was made a chevalier of the French Legion.of Honor.
