| 總結: | This article explores the untold history of English-Canadian children’s First World War work for the Canadian Red Cross Society. First it examines young people’s material and symbolic contributions, then follows the legacies of children’s war work through to the Second World War. It also highlights the connection between youthful war work and the interwar Junior Red Cross (focused on health, service, and citizenship). English-Canadian youth did not cause the conflict, but through their involvement with the Canadian Red Cross Society successive generations of them bore the war’s tangible and intangible burdens. |
