In the process of its repacking for wholesale distribution from the
various centers, the department was able to give much individual aid in
clothing to those cases whose needs were made known to it. Not among the
fewest of these were the soldiers whose privations and forlorn condition
would have to be actually seen to be fully appreciated. The officers,
being unable to procure the necessary articles of clothing, food and
medicine for themselves, their men and their sick, the Red Cross had the
privilege of lending a hand to these brave men who so uncomplainingly
