The Red Cross Corps, established in the early 1920s, consisted of a dedicated group of American Red Cross nurses who selflessly served their country. In a captivating photograph from that era, we see these courageous women standing tall and proud, ready to provide care and support to those in need. One notable individual who found himself at an American Red Cross Hospital was none other than Ernest Hemingway. Captured in a poignant image taken during his time at the hospital in Milan in 1918, this renowned American writer showcases the resilience and strength that would later be reflected in his literary works. During World War II, the iconic poster "Your Red Cross Needs You" by James Montgomery Flagg rallied Americans together for a common cause. This powerful artwork urged citizens to join forces with the Red Cross and contribute towards supporting troops on the frontlines. In another snapshot from history, we witness a brave Red Cross Nurse serving on the battlefields of World War I. With compassion etched across her face, she embodies dedication as she tends to wounded soldiers amidst chaos and destruction. Transportation played a crucial role during times of conflict, as exemplified by the Rover 12 hp ambulance used extensively during World War I. Although its creator remains unknown today, this vehicle symbolized hope as it raced against time to transport injured soldiers to safety. The impact of war is far-reaching and devastatingly evident through an evocative poster titled "Victory Bonds will help stop this. " Created in 1918 underlining Kultur vs Humanity campaign; it highlights how financial contributions can aid efforts aimed at ending such destruction caused by war. Beyond wartime endeavors lies evidence of community involvement within various industries. Workers from Val De Travers Asphalt Limited are seen diligently paving roads – their contribution ensuring smoother journeys for all while indirectly supporting organizations like the Red Cross through infrastructure development. Anna Coleman Ladd's remarkable work with masks during WWI is showcased through a poignant photograph.
