ИЗВЕШТАЈ ЧЛАНОВА САНИТАРНЕ КОМИСИЈЕ АМЕРИЧКОГ ЦРВЕНОГ КРСТА О СТАЊУ У СРБИЈИ И МАКЕДОНИЈИ У ДЕЦЕМБРУ 1915. ГОДИНЕ
REPORT OF MEMBERS OF THE SANITARY COMMISSION OF THE AMERICAN RED CROSS ABOUT THE SITUATION IN SERBIA AND MACEDONIA IN DECEMBER 1915

Summary/Abstract: The paper presents the report of members of the Sanitary Commission of the American Red Cross about the situation in Serbia and Macedonia in December 1915, prepared on the request of Lewis Einstein, chargé d’affaires of the American Embassy in Sofia. The members of the American mission pointed to a potential humanitarian disaster following the Bulgarian occupation and the need to implement urgent humanitarian measures in the occupied areas. The report is kept in the National Archives in Washington, as an annex to the letter sent to State Secretary Robert Lansing. Its importance is reflected in the fact that it sheds light on the circumstances in which the civilian population found themselves in the territory occupied by the Bulgarian army. However, the American doctors’ reports are perhaps all the more important as they significantly influenced further activities of the American Red Cross in war-torn Europe, particularly in Serbia during the First World War.
