THE AMERICAN RED CROSS
National Headquarters
To:
All Division Managers
Date:
May 14, 1920
From: General Manager
Subject: Awards of Service Insignia
The following is an important decision of the National Committee
on Awards with respect to the awards of service insignia.
Please publish this statement verbatim in your Division bulletin
and see that it is given the widest possible publicity and especially
that each member of your Division Committee on Awards receives a copy
of this announcement.
In connection with the award of medals to the families of deceased
personnel, the following questions have been raised:
(1) The period of service to be considered in making these awards.
(2) Whether medals would be awarded only for strictly war service
or for other forms of service.
In response to these questions the Committee on Awards passed the
following vote:
VOTED: That it is the sense of the National Committee on Awards
that the regulations heretofore adopted governing the
award of medals to the families of deceased personnel
should be considered as being limited to the cases of
personnel who died or whose fatal illness was incurred
during the period from April 6, 1917 to November 11,
1919, and that the services of any persons who died
during their active Red Cross service and because of such
service within that period are to be considered in making
these awards.
Thus the service of any Red Cross worker who died during the
period from April 6, 1917 to November 11, 1919, or whose fatal illness was
incurred during that period, is to be considered as war service in making
these awards.
