Information for Applicants, 1917

This two-page application for the American Friends Reconstruction Unit was used to select 100 young men for wartime reconstruction in France. The directions note: “It should be clearly understood that this Unit is affiliated with the civil, not the military, branch of the Red Cross, and requires neither enlistment in the army, subjection to military orders, nor, in the opinion of the committee, any other compromise of a conscientious opposition to military service.”
