Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Story of the American Red Cross War Work for Belgium Before I left Brussels in April, 1919, I agreed to write the story of the American Red Cross work for Belgium. Other things prevented until March, 1921, when I got at it. The lapse of time has been fortunate, as I am convinced that we arc past the period when "people do not want to hear anything more about the war." There arc 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. But this Commission was set down in one of the most dramatic and picturesque sections of Europe, where a brave people and a heroic King made a last stand to save their country, and where powerful armies of England and representative divisions of France and the United States fought through to a glorious end. This book tells something of the story of war in Flanders, of life in that part of France which supported Flanders, and of the work of the American Red Cross in helping Belgian hospitals, cheering Belgian soldiers, saving Belgian children, and lifting the load of misery which settled down on both refugees and those who refused to fly.
