THE AMERICAN RED CROSS
NATIONAL HEADQUARTERS
To:
All Division Managers.
Date: November 8, 1919.
From:
General Manager.
Subject: Award of Service Certificates and Insignia.
I wish to call your attention to the following rulings of the
Committee on Awards concerning the further issuance of service certifi-
cates, 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. after November 11, 1919, no service rendered
the organization will be taken into consideration in computing the min-
imum amount of service which is necessary to entitle any worker to re-
ceive 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
issuance to Divisions, and through Divisions to
Chapter workers, under the same rules of requi-
sition as governed one, two and three stripe
ribbon".
The Committee has under consideration appropriate recognition,
by service insignia, of Red Cross service performed during peace times.
These rulings should be given the widest possible publicity.
