WASHINGTON NURSE HONORED BY INTERNATIONAL RED CROSS
(Excerpts from a Washington Star, Washington, D. C., article,
1 - December, 1933)
3 copies
For all the honors that may come to a graduate nurse, whether in the
United States or any other country, none is as coveted as the Florence
Nightingale medel, struck off biannually by the International Committee of
the Red Cross at Geneva, Switzerland, where the Red Cross was founded
seventy years ago. This year one of these coveted medals, awarded to
nurses who have won special distinction in war or disaster, comes to Wash-
ington. On next Wedn?sday, December 13, a medal, with a citation on vellum,
will be presented to Mrs. Charlotte M. Heilman, R. N., Assistant National
Director of the Red Cross Public Health Nursing Service
"Already the recipient of other medals for her work on the battle-
peculiarly eventful career, filled with the color and adventure nursing
field against dissese, Heilman looks back of
and in the war Mrs. upon a
work in war-town Europe. Her memories are colorfully embroidered with
reminiscences of crowned heads, royal infants and a pageant of Italians,
Serbian, Greek and Russian soldiers and refugess, American soldiers and not-
ables. Among her patients was Ernest Hezingway, since then famous as the
author
of "Farewell to Arms" When in Greece, where she and other nembers
of her unit received medals at the hands of the king, she numbered as her
colleagues both Queen Sophia and Queen Elizabeth.
"The Nightingale Medal, which Mrs. Heilman now receives, was first
proposed at a conference of the International Red Cross held at London in
1907, but was not carried out until the May of 1912, when it met in Wash-
ington, D. c....all with the consent of the distinguished woman whose work
in the Crimea had done so much to inspire Henry Dunant, the Swiss, who
brought about the signing of the International Red Cross Treaty in 1864."
