Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Red Cross in This War Two years ago the Red Cross member ship was hardly more than twenty-five thousand; today it is twenty-three million. Two years ago its income for war relief was trivial; this last year it was well over money given twice because given quickly, money skillfully expended by experts, with every penny vouched for and recorded with absolute accuracy and fidelity. And I believe that America is ready to refill the Red Cross treasury whenever the right moment comes to ask for it. America's heart has been deeply touched by the miseries of others. But do we Americans appreciate the seriousness of our own position? I think not. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The American Red Cross in the Great War Classic Reprint written by Henry Pomeroy Davison and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-10 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Red Cross, in the Great War It is the effort of this book to set forth the scope, character and effect of the work of the American Red Cross during the Great War. When the war closed more than thirty million Americans were enrolled in the organization. Some of these were in foreign fields; most of them were at home. But, in one way or another, they were all helping. All of them working together made up the American Red Cross. Stories of special sacrifice or devotion cannot be given here and yet few organizations have so closely touched the great currents of human life. Detailed narratives will accordingly follow this book. I have sought here to summarize the work of the thirty millions as a whole. To characterize the Red Cross work of any man or woman, or to attempt to describe it with any regard to proper perspective, would be invidious if not impossible. I have therefore omitted the mention of names. The highest satisfaction any worker in the Red Cross can derive from his work is from the fact that the work itself was well done. The files of the War Council have been freely drawn upon in the preparation of this book. And I want to make special acknowledgment to every member of the force at headquarters, and to the special correspondents and staffs of our foreign commissions, who seemingly have vied with. one another in supplying me, either orally or in writing, with material without which the scope of this book could not be what it is. Indeed it may accurately be said that the book itself is a product of the American Red Cross. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from War Work of the Fort Wayne Chapter of the American Red Cross When Clara Barton lighted that little candle so many years ago. It is doubtful if even her prephetic vision pictured the far places which its beams should some day read; But. Belonging to the wise ones of earth she did not light the candle in a corner nor hide it under a bushel lest a wind should blow it out. She set it. Instead, upon a high h .l. It took her twenty yea: rs of patient.vigilsnr waiting to get it placed at last. Where she desired it to stand.on a pedestal established by the United States Government, from whence no power save the dissolution of the Government might ever remove it. Twenty years, from 1862 to 1882. Following the powerful opposition of Secretary of War Stanton, Rise Barton trimmed and guarded that candle whose flame was a Red Cross, signifying a service that should reach impartially in all directions. For the relief of human suffering in times of famine. Pestilence. Natural calamity or the horror of war. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of the American Red Cross War Work for Belgium The lapse of time has been fortunate, as I am convinced that we are past the period when people do not want to hear anything more about the war. There are some indications of the beginning of a period bound to come when every detail of that stupendous struggle will be read with a deepening interest and a truer perspective. The Commission for Belgium of the American Red Cross was small in comparison with many other Red Cross Commissions. It operated on somewhat different lines. It handled less than five million of the four hundred million dollars raised by the American people through the American Red Cross for war relief.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from American Red Cross Work Among the French People As it Would be impossible to give in narrative form a full account of the activities of the American Red Cross among the French during the World War and keep it within the limits of a single volume, and as much of the work was purely technical, it has been thought best to deal with its various aspects in a general fashion rather than specialize on any. It is hoped thereby to inform the reader in an interesting way of the broad character and mom of American Red Cross efforts. It will be noticed that the book deals With work dur ing the war period and the months immediately follow ing and does not attempt to take up post-war activities in detail.

Download or read book The Red Cross in France Classic Reprint written by Granville Barker and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-26 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Red Cross in France He arrives at Boulogne, and before he lands he can count sixty-seven Red Cross ambulances packed on the further quay. He is met at the gangway by a man in a Red Cross uniform, who takes him in charge in his badly battered motor, and lands him at the front door of the head quarters of the e.r.c. At that Port. These head quarters are an old French hotel, converted for the purpose, every part of it full of the most incessant activity, and he takes his orders from the Commissioner. They amount substantially to this, that whatever the Red Cross wants in any direction anywhere he is to be ready to do it, or to help to do it, as far as he can. He takes a view of the stores, which contain everything under Heaven that soldiers, sick or wounded, can by any possibility need, from bedsteads to feather dusters, the Red Cross being ready to furnish everything that the War Office cannot be expected to furnish, and can in ten hours, as the author claims, in case of emergency supply to the sufferers what the War Office would take ten weeks to procure. He shows how the Red Cross accepts the services of men who are refused for the regular army for physical or other causes, or because not up to or far beyond the fighting age, and how eagerly and zealously all these perform the parts assigned them. He shows the wonderful work of the Red Cross ambulances, how they start out to meet the ambulance trains arriving from the front, going at breakneck speed over the rough roads, and how they return loaded with sick and wounded.

Download or read book Under the Red Cross Flag at Home and Abroad Classic Reprint written by Mabel Thorp Boardman and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-05-14 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Under the Red Cross Flag at Home and Abroad Whenever war or serious calamity arouses universal interest in the Red Cm the requests for information increase a hundred fold, and at the same time the mem bers of its stafi are overwhelmed with duties that active relief measures bring upon them. Notwithstanding the fact that Qm' s'czcuse s'aocuse, the writer believes it not unfair to say that Under the Red Cross Flag has been written at such a time of stress and during long drawn-out pressure of work, with many attendant prob lems and anxieties. No cfiert has been made to produce a detailed and complete history of the organization here or elsewhere. Such would require years of study and scores of volumes, for which there was neither time nor ability, and for which the general public has no desire. By this labor of love the hope has been rather to place briefly and simply before the American people something of the fiery of the Red Cross, its origin, development, especially in our own country, and its services for humanity.

Download or read book The Passing Legions written by George Buchanan Fife and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-23 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Passing Legions: How the American Red Cross Met the American Army in Great Britain, the Gateway to France The exhilaration and incentive which came of service at the front, of contact with actual warfare and the sharing of adventures and dangers with fighting troops were denied to the American Red Cross staff in Great Britain. But, for all that, its work never once lacked a superb inspiration nor was it devoid of moments of sheer drama. Its service lay back of the lines, among those either on the way up for a million American soldiers passed through England on their long journey to the battle zones or on leave or returning, wounded and worn, from the firing line. To these men it ministered in many ways which are past forgetfulness. In a war extending over so vast a theatre and for so long a time, the activities of the several American Red Cross Commissions abroad must Often have been identical in both intent and execution. The aim of the writer, therefore, has been rather to avoid such coincidental details of history and helpfulness and to narrate those achievements which distinguished the work in Great Britain, those which, in the swift emergency preceding them, in their setting and their drama are without counterpart in the chronicle of any other Red Cross effort in Europe. It has not been possible, in recounting these narratives, to present the names of all those who had a part in the work, but this can take nothing from the heart and high pride with which their service was given nor from their share in a great achievement. The writer wishes to make grateful acknowledgment to many members of the staff for aid in the compilation of this volume, for access to archives and to other written records Whose artistry inspired him not a little.
