life:
On the anniversary of the 1881 founding of the American Red Cross, LIFE remembers the charity’s work during one, specific, global crisis: the Second World War.
In a July 1940 installment of its regular “LIFE Goes to a …” feature (“LIFE Goes to a Mardi Gras Ball,” “LIFE Goes to a Hitler Hex Party,” and so on), LIFE magazine paid homage to the venerable charity with an article titled “LIFE Goes to a Red Cross Meeting.”
