PUBLISHED ON BEHALF OF THE
CROIX ROUGE FRANÇAISE

COMITÉ DE LONDRES
9 KNIGHTSBRIDGE, LONDON, S.W.
Président d'honneur	Présidente
S. E. Monsieur PAUL CAMBON	VICOMTESSE DE LA PANOUSE
Under the Patronage of
H.M. QUEEN ALEXANDRA

The work of the French Red Cross is done almost entirely by the willing sacrifice of patriotic people who give little or much out of their means. The Comité is pleased to give the fullest possible particulars of its methods and needs. It is sufficient here to say that every one who gives even a shilling gives a wounded French soldier more than a shilling's worth of ease or pleasure.
