NOTESON THE COMMITTEES ON AWARDS
WORLD WAR I
On July 16, 1918 the War Council appointed Mr. Ivy L. Lee to act
as a committee of one to discuss with various groups and individuals the matter of
issuing suitable evidences of Red Cross service. Mr. Lee submitted
designs for certain medals and badges on October 2, 1918. The War
Council was unable at that time to consider all the designs submitted
but felt it important to approve the suggested service badge and certificate
"for the entire Red Cross organization" at once. This badge and the service
certificate were announced to the divisions on November 25, 1918.
Mr. Lee, on February 27, 1919, submitted to the War Council a final
report, which contained designs and proposed regulations for the bronze,
silver, and gold medals and various other awards. The War Council approved
the entire report. (These designs, however, were not made part of the
Documents of Record.) (For Mr. Lee's report, see D.R.,Com. on Awards, p. 3.)
In the meantime, on December 3, 1918, a Committee on Awards for
recognition of Red Cross service was appointed to make awards of medals
and certificates throughout the entire Red Cross organization at home and
abroad. This committee met with some frequency during the year 1919, less
frequently during 1920, and a few times in 1921. It was given power to
consider peacetime awards while it was active in connection with wartime
awards. The committee was formally discharged in 1929 although it had not
been active for some years before that time. (Membership of the committee
Chairman,
included at first Doughlas Stewart, Mrs. Belmont, Mrs. Draper, and Mrs.
Walling. When Mr. Stewart severed his active connection with the Red Cross,
Mr. H. J. Hughes became a member of the committee, and later Mrs Wadswoth
and became to chairman,
was asked to serve on itp)
