Written as the American Red Cross was packing up its offices in Paris, this account tells how it went to war in 1917, organised its work, solved the problems of transport and followed the doughboys toward the front. Edward Hungerford describes canteens, refugee aid, field and hospital work, and the troops’ homecoming.
