Salvation Army Red Shield Work in war zones
Four Salvation Army volunteers accompanied troops on the Yugoslav and Crete fronts delivering mobile canteens, comfort items, and songs. One officer was wounded, another became a prisoner of war in Germany, yet they continued to aid wounded soldiers as shells and machine-gun fire raged. The effort, praised by King and Queen, underscores a commitment to aid despite peril.
