Description |
"American Committee for Relief in the Near East, 1919-1923, Turkey-Egypt-Greece, Later called Near East Relief Foundation [NEF]" in Frances C. MacDaniels' handwriting. As an added touch, a cloth patch of the NEF was attached. The origin of the NEF patch is not certain since the official insignia of those in service was described (and sketched) by FCM as Blue Circle Background, White Star, Red Letters ACRNE (for American Relief Committee in the Near East, sic. - actually American Committee for Relief in the Near East.) This patch lacks the ACRNE but has NEF, a later name for the same organization. It suggests the patch derives from the 1940s when the MacDaniels served the Near East Foundation (NEF). See Frances C. MacDaniels letter to her parents, 4 February 1919, Series 9. Additional Correspondence, Laurence H. and Frances C. MacDaniels Papers, 30/276. |
