Double Barred Red Cross Celebrates Seventeen Years
The double barred Red Cross marks seventeen years this month since its adoption as the emblem of the world wide fight against tuberculosis. Originating with the International Anti Tuberculosis Association in Berlin, its symbolism combines the Croix de Lorraine and the Greek Cathhetic cross. It arrived in the United States in 1904 with the National Tuberculosis Association’s formation and has since been carried by affiliated bodies totaling about one thousand groups. The effort is primarily funded by the Christings Seal sale.
