Caption label from exhibit "World War I ...": Edwin Blashfield's Certificate for a Red Cross Nurse. Though Blashfield's design shows Columbia "knighting" a kneeling doughboy, this certificate honors the service of Red Cross nurse Anna Cecilia Foldesi. Shortly after arriving at Iowa's Camp Dodge, Foldesi (name misspelled as Foldese on the certificate) died of influenza and pneumonia on November 8th, days before the war ended. Millions more died from the wartime influenza pandemic of 1918-1919 than from enemy weapons.

Inscribed in ink on the certificate: Anna Cecelia Foldese, Army Nurse Corps.
