English Children Grateful for Aid and War Efforts
A collection of letters shows English children grateful for aid from America as their homes are bombed and families evacuated. Reports describe the American Red Cross and Women's Voluntary Services efforts, including a 6,000,000 garment goal and a Douglas county sewing room open weekdays. Also listed are wartime contracts for Kansas groups and Ireland’s peat harvest plan to avert fuel shortages in 1942.
