Boyd B. Burnside, Red Cross di
rector assigned to the Timber Wolf
i division, talked about Red Cross
morale work in a radio interview
with Chaplain (Major) Loren T.
Jenks, assistant divisional chaplain.
“We go where they go," he said,
"to carry out the R. C, functions as
outlined in army regulations. Our
duty is to cooperate with the
military in any problem relating
to morale, welfare and recreation
and to serve as a medium of com
munication between the men in the i
service and their families in case
of distress or need."
These examples of the work were
given:
Pvt. John suspected trouble at
home. For two weeks he had not
heard from his wife, soon to have
a child, and a letter from his
mother made him think she was
trying to cover up something.
Through a Red Cross chapter in
New Jersey it was learned that
his allottments had not arrived and
that there was no money at home.
The Red Cross supplied money un
til the allottments were paid.
