Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: Sometime between 1914-1919. Published with caption:
"Headquarters of Knitting Department of Nashville Chapter [of American Red Cross] On duty, seated at left, Mrs. B. Frank Fields, Assistant Chairman. Seated to the right, Mrs. Richard Duke (Julia Dudley). In the center, Mrs. C. S. Brown. Back of her, standing, are Mrs. Vernon Tupper (Louise Frith), and Mrs. Charles Hunt, two valuable workers at headquarters. To the left, standing, are, Mrs. K. T. McConnico and Mrs. R. E. Fort, Chairman of the Knitting Department." Accompanying text reads: "Knitting by the Nashville Chapter, A. R. C., began when a cablegram from Major Grayson Murphy, Chief of the Red Cross War Council, in France, of the American Red Cross, was received at National Headquarters, which read: 'Begin shipping at once one and a half million each of knitted mufflers, sweaters, socks and wristlets, ... I urge you on behalf of our soldiers and those of our Allies who suffer in the frozen trenches.' "The response to this appeal was instantaneous in Nashville and Davidson County. Hundreds of women came daily to the Knitting Department of the Nashville Chapter, and were given the wool and the directions for the garments they desired to make." |
