Not sure if this is really the best place for this, but here goes.
I've asked it before, but as there are a lot of new members, thought someone may be able to shed light....
My grandfather was an ANZAC from New Zealand. He was a member of the NZ Army band and a stretcher bearer. I have his records.
He was also one of the most generous people I've ever met...would give the shirt off his back. He gave to many charities of different kinds.
However, to his dying day, he would never give to the Red Cross. I never asked why.....
Some time ago I was listening to an interview with the daughter of an Australian ANZAC who said exactly the same thing. She also had no idea why.
Now.....I've come across a grandson of an Australian ANZAC who tells me the same thing. Once again, no idea why.
Anyone have any ideas why this anti Red Cross feeling from these soldiers??
