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. Cet article s’intéresse à l'histoire inédite du travail des enfants canadiens-anglais au sein de la Société canadienne de la Croix-Rouge, durant la Grande Guerre. On examinera d'abord les contributions matérielles et symboliques des jeunes, puis nous en suivrons l’héritage jusqu’à la Seconde Guerre mondiale. L’article fait le lien entre les activités des jeunes de la Croix-Rouge dans l’entre deux-guerres (qui étaient surtout tournées vers la santé, le service, et la citoyenneté) et l’œuvre accomplie durant la Première Guerre. Ces jeunes n’avaient rien à voir avec le conflit, mais à travers leur implication au sein de la Croix-Rouge des générations successives ont continué à porter l’héritage de ce lourd passé. |
