''The Aftermath of Battle with the Red Cross in France'' is a book written by Edward D. Toland. It is a historical account of the efforts made by the Red Cross during World War I to provide aid and assistance to wounded soldiers on the front lines in France. The book describes the conditions that the Red Cross workers faced, the challenges they encountered, and the impact of their work on the lives of soldiers and civilians alike. Toland’s account is based on his own experiences as a volunteer with the Red Cross during the war, as well as on interviews with other volunteers and soldiers who witnessed the organization’s work firsthand. The book provides a unique perspective on the human cost of war and the importance of humanitarian efforts in times of conflict. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of World War I, the Red Cross, or humanitarian work in general.1916. Wister writes: Most of these pages following are, like the photographs which go with them, torn fresh and hot, so to speak, from the diary of a young American, just as he jotted them down day by day in the war hospitals of France. In those hospitals, from September, 1914 into February, 1915, with other young volunteers, many of them Americans also, he served the wounded Germans and Allies. He carried them upstairs and down, or in from the rain, he assisted at operations, he held basins, he gave chloroform, he build the kitchen fire, he pumped the water, he was chauffeur, forager, commissariat, he helped in what ways he could, as he was ordered, and also as his own intelligence prompted in the not infrequent absence of orders. He saw the wounded die, he saw them get well, and he tells about them, their suffering, their courage, their patience.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
