American Red Cross - Uniforms - This gray summer outdoor uniform of the American Red Cross is seen in Palestine and Greece, Italy and England as well as in the United States and France. Nurses going out to serve in these countries did not know what service they might be called upon to perform, or whether they would serve singly or in groups. They are working in hospitals, dispensaries and teaching centers, helping in the care of children and refugees, and meeting every emergency of war

American Red Cross - Uniforms - When she is at work in her district, the Red Cross Public nurse wears the practical gray cotton crepe working uniform with regulation hat and cape. It is a uniform familiar and beloved in the homes of many villages in France where children hail her coming with joyuful excitement and mothers with quiet hope. A new public health service in our own country is that of the sanitary zones surrounding the camps and cantonments, established for the purpose of preventing contagion between the camps and civil communities. About 90 Red Cross nurses are engaged in these zones

American Red Cross - Uniforms - This is the nurses' uniform that wounded soldiers know best - the gray cotton crepe working uniform of the Red Cross Army and Navy Nurse, which makes its wearer "the best dressed woman in the world". Gray is an innovation used abroad made necessary by the laundry problem in France. The Red Cross brassard is worn only by nurses serving directly under the Red Cross

American Red Cross - Uniforms - All white is the dress uniform of the Red Cross nurse in foreign service, where its wearing, for laundry purposes has to be a luxury. But sometimes a wounded man is decorated in the ward, or a General may visit; almost certainly then the nurse will wear dress uniform as a mark of honor, and one which is dramatic in its symbolism. Nurses of the Army and Navy Nurse Corps wear the same uniform, with their insignia the Caduceus of the Army or anchor of the Navy replacing the Red Cross pin. They retain the Red Cross on the cap, however, if they have entered military service from the Red Cross reserve

American Red Cross - Uniforms - Stormy weather attire is the samein the Red Cross or Army and Navy service, the only diference being in the insignia. The heavy ulster was worn often in the sleeping tents as well as out-of-doors during the rigors of last winter in France. Though the nurses who had tent quarters in base hospitals maintained that they were as warm as those within solid walls, during the almost fule-less months

American Red Cross - Uniforms - The Red Cross Town and Country nurse, in her plain blue gingham dress with soft collar and cufts, her panama hat and her emergency kit is a beloved figure in rural communities scattered from the Atlantic to the Pacific, from Canada to Mexico. Her insignia is the Red Cross pin. To her district she is nurse, mother, sister, teacher, and fairy-godmother. In a week she attends the sick, instructs mothers, gives school children lessons in hygiene, organizes health committees and clubs, brings clean- up and public welfare campaigns to the country, apparantly carrying in her bag a new lease of life for all to whom it opens

American Red Cross - Uniforms - This is the famous red-lined cape of dark blue worn by the Red Cross nurse - the cape which the French people love. It is worn with the brilliant lining thrown smartly over the left shoulder, following tradition. To the public it is the cape of poems and posters and plays and stories; to the nurse it is the practical protection against cold in the hundred daily errands through the corridors and court yards, and an emergency wrap for outdoor wear
