Roger Perrier wants to be a designer. He draws automobiles, RED CROSS men wearing campaign hats, and riding bicycles, Baldwin locomotives, trolly cars and American war ships with the Stars and Stripes at both bow and stern. The strong American tone in his designs is accounted for by the fact that the Enlisted Men of Battery "A" of the 148th Field Artillery have made him their mascot and he is enormously proud of it. His designing, however, occupies only his leisure hours. Most of the time when he is not in school he helps his mother make rain coats of horizon blue for the French poilus.

Paul Pivart is the sturdy little mascot for Company "E" of the 166th infantry. He was wearing a suit made of a piece of old tent cloth brought home by his father on his last "permission" in 1916. After that the father disappeared and no news of him has ever reached his family. His big silver watch which still "marches well" is the little son's most treasured possession. He wore it beacuse his picture was to be taken for his "god-fathers." Paul lives at Caen in the Place de la Reine Mathilde, and goes to Vacation School. It costs 6 francs a month, which is paid by his American God-fathers of the Ohio Rainbow Reveille.

Babcock of New York University arrives in England on his way to American Red Cross Headqaurters in Paris, where he will be in charge of the new school for Training Red Cross Personnel. On his arrival in London he received a letter which he is seen reading. It was from the officer commanding the American troops on board the great liner on which Prof. Babcock commanded a detachment of Red Cross workers. The letter said, "The work of your Red Cross officers and nurses on board our ship made it possible to save the lives of a number of American soldiers who would otherwise have been lost. Please accept this expression of our deep and lasting sense of obligation." The reference is to a large number of influenza cases among the soldiers, who were cared for by the Red Cross personnel

American Expeditionary Forces (AEF) encountered a multitude of orphaned children when they joined the war in 1917. Grassroots orphans’ relief efforts sprang up in France as early as 1914. A 1916 advertisement in The New York Times stated that in August of 1914, a group of drafted factory workers demanded that an organization should be formed to care for their potentially parent-less children. This first charity was founded by M. Vilta, the head of the Paris Université Populaire. It was known as the Association Les Orphelins de la Guerre, War Orphans’ Association. In 1915, the CNSA (National Relief and Food Committee) created the Oeuvre nationale des orphelins de guerre (National war orphans charity) in order to help children who had lost their parents due to the war. This section was created with the support of the very active Commission For Relief in Belgium (CRB). Across the Atlantic ocean, they were supported by a broad network of charitable donors and private citizens including philanthropist William D. Guthrie, Catholic Archbishop John Cardinal Farley, US Supreme Court Chief Justice Howard Douglass White, and French ambassador William H. Sharp, the American Society for the Relief of French War Orphans, which solicited funds from Yale University. In August of 1914, a group of New York-based philanthropists, and several former French residents including August F. Jaccacci, Mrs. Cooper Hewitt and Frederick René Coudert Jr. began the most wide-reaching orphans’ relief organizations, the Franco-American Committee for the Protection of Children of the Frontier. The Committee was assisted by the Service de Transport France-Amerique, a shipping service for transferring goods across the ocean to help the French. The Committee spread and advertisements printed in publications like the Chicago Tribune. Funds collected from the solicitation on the orphans’ behalf by the American public through the advertisements paid for ophan’s care and education that reportedly cost “16 cents a day.” In addition to relief agencies’ fundraising campaigns, the US Red Cross hosted several large-scale Child Welfare Expositions in Saint Etienne, Lyons, and Marseilles in 1917. By December 1, 1917, the Franco-American Committee for the Protection of Children of the Frontier recorded that they had aided 1,365 children. Despite the war environment, most of the children in American Red Cross photographs appear to be calm and well-fed despite their uprooting and the horrors that they may have witnessed. On April 12, 1918 Stars and Stripes newspaper reported that 38 children were adopted by Infantry companies. The Great War resulted in six million orphans across Europe.
