Voluntary Aid Rendered to the Sick and Wounded at Home and Abroad and to British Prisoners of War 1914-1919 by Imperial War Museum PDF Summary

Book Description: The most comprehensive, single-volume record of the Red Cross and its commitment in the First World War. Members of the British Red Cross and the Order of St John were organised into Voluntary Aid Detachments (the term VAD later came to be used for an individual member as well as a detachment). All members were trained in first aid and others trained in nursing, cookery and hygiene and sanitation. Throughout the war VADs worked in hospitals, convalescent homes, rest stations, packing centres, medical supply depots and work parties. The Joint War Committee organised the volunteers alongside technical and professional staff. The Committee also supplied the machinery and mechanisms to provide these services in Britain and in the conflict areas of Europe, the Middle East, Russia and East Africa. The Joint War Committee was the first to supply motorised ambulances to the battlefields.
