Welcome

WELCOME!

Hello, and welcome to our website! This site is meant as a resource for educators and living historians on the roles of women in wartime. While our primary focus is World War I American Red Cross, we would like to expand to representing and educating the public about women's history in wartime in general. This site is also primarily for members and recruitment for our living history group. Please feel free to contact us if you were interested in that. We are also a 501c3 nonprofit organization, so any donations are tax deductible. We appreciate you coming to our website and for your support.  DONATE TO US HERE: paypal.me/rosesofnomansland
