An American Red Cross World War II Scrapbook
You  may have known that the Red Cross served the troops during World War II by handing out donuts and coffee, setting up evacuation tents, and hosting dances. But did you think of their talented operatives as playing an accordion or manning a cinemobile? This touching exhibit commemorates the war experiences of the Red Cross' recreation staff through the memorabilia of several of its workers. With a format that literally asks you to turn each page (drag the corner), the scrapbook shares images of badges, maps, newspaper clippings, and personal snapshots -- including a sweet photograph of a young woman and two very pleased-looking men at a St. Patrick's Day dance. More than seven million Red Cross volunteers served in more than 50 countries. Take a nostalgic peek at what just a few accomplished. (in World War II) |
