Take a look at this historical photo from our archives. 👀 These Red Cross nurses were part of a team of 170 surgeons and nurses who were recruited to care for wounded soldiers and civilians during #WWI. But what’s special about this photo, is that it marked a pivotal moment in history. This expedition to Europe on the SS Red Cross, also known as the Mercy Ship, gave the Red Cross the recognition it needed to be seen as a national humanitarian organization that could support domestic and international relief efforts. #RedCross #NursesWeek #HistoricalPhoto #MercyShip
