AMERICAN RED CROSS (AMCROSS OR ARC)
IN AUSTRALIA DURING WW2

The American Red Cross (Amcross) in Australia during WW2 became the largest hotel and restaurant chain in Australia at the time. Amcross was headed by Norman H. Davis with its headquarters in Sydney, NSW.

General George Marshall officially recognised Amcross "as the non military agency to operate with our expeditionary forces during the war."
