Never has the need been so urgent. Helping to keep up the morale of half -a -million fighting men is a gigantic task, and that is only the: beginning.The Red Cross makes life more bearable for thousands .of prisoners of war. Over 2,000,000 parcels were shipped to them last year—more than this number must go in 1943.
