The red cross emblem is a neutral protective sign used during armed conflict. Its primary purpose under the Geneva
Conventions is to be the emblem of the medical services of the armed forces. The British Red Cross in its special role as an auxiliary to
the military medical services is also authorised to use the emblem within specified limits. The use of the emblem is restricted by
international and national laws. The depiction of the red cross emblem in many of these posters would not be allowed today under current
regulations.
