Red Cross Canteens in France A Model Yet To Grow
An American Red Cross worker describes a French canteen project, detailing a rough, plain, yet evolving space with blue white red decorations, flowers, and art. The room holds about 120, with plans for a larger kitchen and 1000-seat recreation area. Food varies from coffee and stews to fried eggs when meat runs short. Dormitories use canvas beds, fumigation, and cleanliness routines. The district is called the garden area of France, and slippers replace wet boots as the project expands toward a full model facility.
