Clip description

Female Red Cross volunteers weigh and cut up vegetables (including pumpkins and potatoes) and fill jars. Soldiers carve and paint wooden toy animals while the women make stuffed dolls.

Curator’s notes

It is not clear from this clip what the jars filled with liquid contained. The Red Cross provided medical supplies, so this could be medicine.
