Can anyone confirm, the early European society
"Blue Cross" was in aid of alchoholics?
Google was of no assistance.

You woudn't find it in English.




Here's your confirmation. It says the goal of the organisation is to help people with a dependency problem like with alcohol.

Bravo! Timbres667. Thanks.
I must have found the answer, I just didn't recall it
I do recall searching for a few weeks on another
newsgroup years ago, and the frustration that went with it.

I regurgitated this from my database.

part of the Red Cross, but do collaborate with it as required.
