Description
Photograph of two Red Cross ladies serving coffee to soldiers at a train station, 1910-1920. The two women are wearing light-colored aprons and hats with the Red Cross logo. They are standing near a table at center and serving coffee while looking at the viewer. A soldier is standing behind the table and raising a cup to his lips, while another man is doing likewise in the foreground at right. A long train is visible in the background, and several pedestrians are walking along the platform in the distance.
