	Japanese Red Cross - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		During World War I, German prisoners of war, captured by the Imperial Japanese Army at their Chinese colony of Tsingtao, were treated fairly well with the help of the Red Cross.
		During the Second Sino-Japanese War (1937-1945), the Japanese Red Cross played a vital role is assisting Japanese civilians and wounded soldiers.
		However, as the Imperial Japanese Army tended to ignore the Geneva Convention, government and military restrictions hampered the ability of the Japanese Red Cross to assist the hundreds of thousands of European military and civilians interned in prison camps in the Japanese-occupied areas of Southeast Asia.

		The activities of the Japanese during the Russo-Japanese War shattered this myth; the organization and conduct of their Red Cross Society actually proved to be a model that Westerners quickly emulated.
