Your boy,
your Red Cross
and France

FROM THE TIME American troops arrive 
in France every energy of the American Red 
Cross is spent in their behalf.
Along every line of communication, from the 
point of debarkation to the immediate vicinity of 
the firing line, are well provisioned canteens in 

Wherever there are "Yanks" in France, are Red Cross canteens.

charge of American men and women -- home folks 
in the service of our soldiers at all hours and in all 
circumstances.

More than 2,000,000 rations have been given to our boys by 
American Red Cross canteens.

Red Cross hospitals, emergency dispensaries, 
hospital huts and convalescent houses aid in the
care of sick and wounded American soldiers.

This service is supplying the needs of thousands 
of men and preventing untold suffering.
An especially important Red Cross work has 
been in supplying temporary hospitals; one 40-
bed infirmary was supplied in forty minutes; a 
250 -- bed tent hospital was prepared in a few hours.

Rolling canteens supply warm food and drink immediately behind 
the lines.

Expenditures for this work up to July 1st, 1918, 
totalled $15,453,049.87; the plans for the six months 
to the end of the year call for the disbursement
of $13,829,417.56 more.

Secretary Baker, upon seeing the activities of the Red Cross in France, 
said, "When one is in the zone of the armies, or in the supply areas, words of
appreciation or praise for the American Red Cross seems superfluous. The 
foresight that has characterized its present and prospective operations has 
been a source of pride to the commanding officers of the American Expeditionary 
Force and should be a source of comfort to the people of the United 
States."
