Scrapbook contains photographs, documents, manuscript material, newspaper clippings, and printed ephemera documenting Sanders's service with the American Red Cross in Hyères, France from fall 1918 through summer 1919.

Other materials include documents and ephemera relating to Sanders's service and travel, clippings about Sanders, and correspondence, including several memos from the Red Cross, and one autograph letter, signed, from Charlotte Renaux, written in 1921.
