First American Red Cross club opens in France. Two American Red Cross workers unfold the Stars and Stripes over the Victoire Club in Cherbourg while below, in the street, U.S. soldiers gather around the doorway. The club, formerly a German officers'club, was opened at a brief ceremony during which Paul Renault, Mayor of Cherbourg, presented it with a Tricolor. It is the first American Red Cross club in France.
