1942 Assistant Canteen Coffee Comforts Drinks Fryer Overseas Rations Staffed Stationed Base Clubmobile Doughnuts
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the spirit of camaraderie and comfort during wartime as American Red Cross Clubmobiles bring a taste of home to US troops stationed in Great Britain during World War II. In this image, a group of American Red Cross volunteers, dressed in their distinctive uniforms, prepare hot coffee and doughnuts inside a Clubmobile canteen van. The interior of the van is filled with the warm glow of light filtering through the windows, creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere. The volunteers, with eager assistance from a fellow Red Cross worker manning the fryer, work diligently to serve the soldiers their much-appreciated rations. The American Red Cross Clubmobiles were a vital source of comfort and morale boosters for US forces overseas, providing hot meals, snacks, and a place to relax and connect with their fellow soldiers. This photograph, dated 1942, is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the American Red Cross volunteers during the 1940s, as they selflessly served those in need during the darkest days of the Second World War.
