Beschreibung

Octavo (9.5 inches). 8 & 9 Edward VII, Chapter 68 (Statutes of Canada). General title leaf with Royal coat of arms; caption title (with additional Royal coat of arms), 4 pages. Neatly extracted from a bound volume and expertly mended. After much successful work during the Boer War (1899-1902), the Canadian Red Cross lost its momentum and was inactive for several years. In 1907, the Canadian Red Cross was revived and reorganized, and petitioned the federal government for incorporation. The result was this 1909 Act in which the Red Cross set out its purpose and organizational structure, its need for exclusive use of the red cross emblem in Canada, its plans to hold a certain amount of property, and its reporting obligations to the government. The aim of the Red Cross was to furnish volunteer aid to the sick and wounded of armies in time of war, in cooperation with the British Red Cross and as recognized by the Geneva Conventions.
