THE AMERICAN RED CROSS
National Headquarters
To:
All Department Heads
Date: November 11, 1919.
From:
General Manager
Subject: Award of Service Certificates, Insignia and Service Stripes
I wish to call your attention to the following rulings of the Committee
on Awards concerning the further issuance of service certificates, badges, buttons
and service stripes.
"Service rendered to the American Red Cross after
November 11, 1919 will not be counted toward the
acquisition of war service certificates, badges,
buttons and service stripes.
This means that fter November 11, 1919, no service rendered the organi-
zation will be taken into consideration in computing the minimum amount of ser-
vice which is necessary to entitle any worker to receive war service certificate
or service insignia or additional service stripes, although any worker who has
completed the minimum amount of service on or before November 11, 1919, will be
entitled to receive a service certificate and be privileged to obtain the service
insignia. Likewise, additional service stripes on ribbons attached to badges of
women workers will be awarded to those workers whose service up to and including
November 11, 1919, has extended over the requisite period of time.
"Service badges and buttons awarded for service
during the war shall never be awarded again,
thereby making such evidence of war service
for that purpose exclusive".
"After November 11, 1919, the holder of the women's
badge is given the option to wear such badge sus-
pended from the ribbon, or in the form of a. pin".
"Four stripe service ribbon is now available for
workers at National Headquarters, under the same
rule that governed the issuance of the one, two
and three S tripe ribbon; application for same
should be made to National Headquarters Committee
on Awards". (Room 16 Main Building)
The Committee has under consideration appropriate recognition by service
insignia, of Red Cross service performed during peace time.
All workers in each Department should be made familiar with these rulings.
