National Headquarters
D.M.18
To:
All Division Managers and
Date:
February 12, 1920
Department Heads
From:
General Manager
Subject: Award of Service Insignia
The following is a digest of the recent important decisions of the
National Committee on Awards with respect to the award of service insignia.
You are requested to have this statement appear 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.
It is considered extremely essential that each Chapter be acquainted
with this action.
1.
The National Committee on Awards desires to call attention again to
the matter referred to in the notice of the General Manager of December 3, 1919,
namely, the necessity of strict uniformity in all matters relating to Red Cross
insignia. The Executive Committee has given to the National Committee on
Awards full power to deal with all these questions and the Committee on Awards
has passed the following vote in this connection:
"VOTED: That no insignia in recognition of Red Cross Service or
membership shall be issued by any Division, Department,
Chapter, Branch or Auxiliary or other unit until such
insignia shall have been approved by National Headquarters,
it being the sense of the National Committee on Awards that
strict uniformity throughout the entire Red Cross organiza-
tion is highly essential in all matters relating to the
issuance of insignia."
2.
The Committee very strongly urges that all requisitions and recommen-
dations for the issuance of war service certificates, badges and buttons be
presented before March 1, 1920, so that the work of issuing such insignia may
be terminated on that date.
3.
The Committee has passed the following vote with respect to the
awarding of service stripes to women workers:
