During the Great War, voluntary medical assistance to British
Forces was organised by the British Red Cross and the Order of St
John. As the conflict escalated there was a shortage of medical
assistance and ancillary services. The solution came with the
creation of the General Service Voluntary Aid Detachment (VAD)
which enabled those with little or no medical training to undertake
more routine jobs - cooks, laundry maids, wardmaids, dispensers,
drivers etc. This book is a reprint of the final, and largest,
British Red Cross list giving information of over 18,000 women and
men who were involved. It provides individual detail (name, rank,
unit, destination) together with lists of Headquarters Staff,
Commissioners and Representatives, and also a Roll of Honour
