COPY 9262 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. /s/ F. C. Munroe General Manager
