well organized, I didn't know they had more to do with the war then just providing medical care. I wonder how they came up with the idea of starting up the red cross.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed how you answered the main questions effectively and clearly. It surprised me that two men invented the Red Cross, even though it was mostly women that worked there. What does the Red Cross help out with today?
ReplyDeleteGood work, I didn't know that most of the volunteers were women. Is the red cross still around today?
ReplyDeleteyou covered the topic well and got lots of info. I did not think that men would have invented it when most woman worked for it. Im curious if they would have ever had to fight say the base got over run would they fight?
ReplyDeleteI liked the way it was formatted and how much information was in such little wording. I learned that The Red Cross was set up in set up in London, England and not in America. Mind Blown. How many people were posted in the Red Cross tent on a battlefield.
ReplyDeleteThis was very nice to read and also gave a lot of info!
ReplyDeleteI had no idea it started in 1863. Would it be possible for me to be hired as co-founder if I changed my name to Gustave Moynier??
