OCR Page 1 of 6Silver Cross presented to Frank B. Fay
Lent by the American Red Cross Museum.
This engraved cross set in a carved wooden laurel wreath
was given to Frank B. Fay, who supervised the Sanitary
Commission's Auxiliary Relief Corps, in 1865. Early in
the war, Fay had worked independently to care for
wounded soldiers in the Army of the Potomac. In late
1863, he organized the Auxiliary Relief Corps for the
USSC which played an important role in tending sick and
wounded troops at the Union Army hospital bases situated
at Fredericksburg, Port Royal, White House and City Point,
Virginia.
