Hi HeatherLynne, Thank you for your contribution about the Junior Red Cross in Britain. We probably did some of the same things in our programme - just wanting confirmation for our programme in Sydney. I cannot remember any boys but they may have belonged. I imagine that it was for children to learn basic first aid and charity for after the 2nd World War. Thank you - much appreciated

Thanks bkr188, I only went to the Anzac Parade in Sydney to watch relatives march past so did not participate as a Junior Red Cross member. I guess I may have to consider that we paid an annual fee to belong to the group. Thanks for your help

Maddys52, Thank you for your input. I suspect we would have made or provided goods for sale to support Red Cross work. Perhaps at meetings we discussed first aid or how to help others but I just don't remember - only things I have is a photo of me dressed in my uniform and my Junior Red Cross Badge. Thanks for the memory

Australia / Junior Red Cross in 1950s at School

Does anyone remember being part of the Junior Red Cross at School. We all wore white dresses with red cape and a veil. My question is what did we do? Did we have weekly, monthly etc. meetings - were they at lunch time or part of the school curriculum? Did we have stalls to sell items or make items? Was there a set written programme for a meeting? Any information would be greatly appreciated to help with my memory. I was a member but cannot remember meeting. thank you
