  • British Red Cross Volunteers

    From The Red Cross Facebook page...

    "We've put our archive of more than 244,000 personnel index cards from World War One on our website.
    Now you can search for your family’s records, and discover what Red Cross volunteers were doing in your local area 100 years ago"

    The British Red Cross database of the 90,000 First World War volunteers, who were known as voluntary aided detachments or VADs, is now down for maintenance.

    Thankyou Chris, I've already spotted my granddad's maiden aunt as a volunteer.

            I just thought I would mention that the reason we haven't taken the link for the Reference Library is because it's already there - under WW1.
            As many of you seem to be finding this one useful perhaps there might be other links in the Reference Library of use for you?

              Sadly I can't find my Gt Grandmother on the list - I know she was in the Red Cross (as a masseuse) & I have a photo of her in her uniform

              At present: Marshall, Smith, Harding, Whitford, Lane (in and around Winchcomb).

                It's odd isn't it Bo . My other great aunt Elizabeth Andrews was also in the Red Cross with her sisters and I too have a photo of the 3 of them with all the nurses from the hospital outside the hospital building but weirdly her record card isn't listed . Very strange .
