Clip description
The Red Cross provides assistance for servicemen fighting overseas. Scenes of battle and war contextualise their work. A recovering serviceman becomes a ‘son, brother, father and sweetheart’. By helping the Red Cross, the narration explains, ‘you help him too’.
Curator’s notes
They Serve personalises both the experiences of Australians at war, and the support that the Red Cross provides. This makes donating an act of national pride.
