service was rendered directly to the Red Cross and under the Direction of Red
Cross officers.
5.
Under a recent decision of the Committee, which has been transmitted to
all Divisions, it was announced that medals are to be awarded to the families
of Red Cross personnel who died during active Red Cross war service and because
of such service. The following regulations have been approved by the Committee
on Awards to make provision for the issuance of these medals.
"PERSONNEL IN FOREIGN RED CROSS SERVICE.
1.
Any person who dies abroad while engaged in Red Cross foreign war service
is to be considered as having died because of such service, unless specific
facts are brought to the attention of the Committee which may make such a
conclusion manifestly untenable.
2. The Secretary of the National Committee on Awards shall endeavor to
secure the names of all persons who died in the foreign Red Cross war service,
together with the necessary information to enable the Committee to act intel-
ligently in each case. This information may be supplied by any one having
knowledge of the facts and need not necessarily come from the foreign commis-
sion with which the deceased served, though it is desirable, if possible, to
obtain the indorsement of some member of such foreign commission on each state-
ment submitted for consideration in making an award.
PERSONNEL IN RED CROSS SERVICE IN THE UNITED STATES
1. In the case of persons who died in Red Cross service in this country it is
the sense of the Committee that it should be affirmatively shown that death was
the result of service rendered by the deceased to the Red Cross; the awards to
be made for either full time or part time workers, whether volunteer or paid,
provided it be shown that death occurred during their active war service with
the American Red Cross and because of such service.
2. Recommendations for the awards of medals in connection with persons who
died in Red Cross service in the United States may be submitted by any person
familiar with the facts and should be approved:
(1) In the case of Chapter workers by two members of the Executive
Committee or Board of the Chapter and by the Division Committee on Awards
where one exists and by the Division Manager.
(2) In the case of Division workers by the head of the Department
and by the Division Committee on Awards where one exists, and by the Div-
ision Manager.
(3) In the case of Headquarters workers by the Head of the Depart-
ment and the General Manager.
3. The Secretary shall take necessary steps to see that all concerned receive
full information of the regulations approved by the Committee with respect to
