American Red Cross Volunteers at Work
At the beginning of the century, Edna M. Walker was an accomplished craftswoman, making Arts and Crafts furniture in the Byrdcliffe artist's colony in Woodstock, New York. During the war, she joined thousands of other American women who volunteered to work for the American Red Cross. The volunteers' energy played a role in the European recovery in the immediate aftermath of the war. Here, she stands with two orphaned children before the ruins of the Église Notre-Dame d'Attigny, France. |
