American Red Cross Witnesses Civilian Relief Efforts
Established by American women living abroad, the American Fund for French Wounded provided support to French soldiers, civilians, and refugees. The photograph's caption on the verso tells a fuller story: "Mrs. Taylor of the Civilian Relief Committee of the American Fund for the French Wounded distributing milk to the young and the old of repatriated village of [Blérancourt]. Milk was unknown to these unfortunate people for three years the Germans occupied their village." |
