JONES MEMORIAL LIBRARY
2311 MEMORIAL AVENUE
LYNCHBURG, VIRGINIA 24501
(434) 846-0501
AMERICAN RED CROSS CANTEEN SERVICES (1914-1918)
An American Red Cross Canteen was maintained at Lynchburg's train terminal
throughout World War I, providing meals for train troops who were being transported
from bases in Texas to embarkation points on the East Coast. As a result, Lynchburg
became known as "Lunchburg". The Lynchburg Canteen also served hospital trains
sending home soldiers injured in France.
Papers in the collection give information about numbers of people and quantities of
food and drink served. The collection also includes photographs of Red Cross and
Canteen volunteers, clippings and letters about the Canteen, and regulations for
conducting the Canteen. Also included are Red Cross banners, camp magazines and
copies of German propaganda proclamations posted in France and Belgium.
