greatwarlondon.wordpress.com/2012/11/21/the-eagle-hut/ "Operating from mid-August 1917, the YMCA’s Eagle Hut was officially opened on 3 September by US ambassador W.H. Page. The Eagle Hut was established by four American businessmen based in London: E.C. Carter, Robert Grant, Grant Forbes and Francis E Powell. It stood at the point where the Indian High Commission and some of Bush House now stand, slightly west of the bottom of Kingsway on the north side of Aldwych."

This is probably the Bryant Park YMCA Eagle Hut

"Here all men in uniform find a homelike atmosphere where they can write letters listen to music buy refreshments at the canteen which is served by women like Mrs WK Vanderbilt Jr, Mrs Jay Gould, Mrs Robert Bacon and many other prominent New York women."
