"The Romance of the Red Triangle. The Story of the Origin of the Red Triangle and the Services the Young Men's Christian Association (Y.M.C.A.) rendered to the Sailors and Soldiers of the British Empire" is a fascinating and fitting account of the important role played by the Y.M.C.A. in the life of servicemen during the First World War. Author Arthur K. Yapp describes how the organization provided support and assistance in entertainment and faith-building programs for the defenders of the empire. The book details how the Y.M.C.A. did everything possible to erase the inevitable long-term separation from the homes of soldiers and sailors and to create an atmosphere of rest and pleasant time on the front lines. Through the honest and conscientious work of the Y.M.C.A., recorded in this book, the reader can better understand the importance of support and humanitarian work in the most difficult moments for people in war conditions. "The Romance of the Red Triangle" is not only a trail into historical events, but also a recognition of the tangible value of sensitivity and support for our heroes at the front.
