In advance of US80, we were pleased to accept the timely donation in December 2021 of a large American flag that was flown from the American Red Cross Club on Chichester Street, Belfast.

To coincide with the 80th anniversary of the Belfast American Red Cross club’s official dedication in October 1942, the Northern Ireland War Memorial will launch a new book, The American Red Cross in Northern Ireland during the Second World War by historian Clive Moore.
