Irish White Cross
The
Irish White Cross was established on 1 February 1921 as a mechanism for distributing funds raised by the
American Committee for Relief in Ireland. It was managed by the
Quaker businessman, and later
Irish Free State senator,
James G. Douglas. The White Cross continued to operate until the
Irish Civil War and its books were officially closed in 1928. From 1922 its activities were essentially wound down and remaining funds divested to subsidiary organisations. The longest running of these aid committees was the Children's Relief Association which distributed aid to child victims of this troubled period, north and south of the border, until 1947.
