Red Cross Worker at a Military Hospital, 1951
"A group of Korean-wounded patients gather around to receive
a few instructions from one of the American Red Cross arts and
skills workers. Tours are made throughout the wards daily by
these volunteer workers bringing material to the bed side and
wards of the wounded to help fill in their long hours during
the healing of injuries. Shown is Mrs. Charles Klinenberg of
... Silver Spring, Maryland, demonstrating how to place designs
and figures on copper."
