About this Item

THE RED CROSS MAGAZINE started in 1916 as a publicity outlet for the Red Cross, and expanded during the buildup to the First World War, and the War itself. After the war it tried to become a more general monthly, billing itself as THE NEW RED CROSS MAGAZINE and as "The Magazine of a Better America," but it apparently went out of business with the October 1920 issue.
