A credit to the Empire as Australias Red Cross Band. Today is the 100th anniversary of the formation of the Australian Red Cross. Weve unearthed this copyright record from our collection. Its amazing how quickly the sight of a woman in a Red Cross uniform became established as a symbol of comfort and care. This image is the album cover of a song registered for copyright in May 1915, barely six months after the Red Cross was established in Australia on 13 August 1914. Women who volunteered for the Red Cross were ‘Australia’s Red Cross Band’.
