Mrs. E. R. Harding
1236 Martine Avenue
Plainfield, New Jersey
My dear Mrs. Harding:
We greatly appreciate your thoughtfulness in writing us
on January 16 regarding the Red Cross nurse's badge issued to your
aunt, Miss Alicia Hibbard.
According to correspondence in file it wauld appear that the
matter was straightened out satiefactor§ is your aunt.
We are very sorry indeed to learn of her Inness necessitating
placement in a nursing home but do hop that sãe is comfortably situated.
According to records on file, your aunt served overseas in World
War I from August 26, 1918, to February 2, 1919 but was not militarized
therefore is not a beneficiary of the Veterans Administration. Only
those nurses who took the obth of office with the Army or Navy and thus
became militarized are aligible For benefits under the Veterans Adminis-
tration.
I am sorry there is no pension fund available in the Red Cross
organization for personnel who served in World War I.
I do not happen to know what if any provision was made on a state
basis for citizens who served with the arned forces in World War I.
It might be workhmille to make an investigation of State funds through
either Red Cross chapter or the American Legion.
the With your best Aocal ishes, I
am
Cordially yours,
