- Christian Phildius (d.1937) worked hard during World War I to maintain the cohesion of the World's Alliance of YMCA's and to ensure its status as a viable international organization to address post-war needs. He often found himself in the position of negotiating between the various national Associations while trying to preserve Red Triangle services to POW's, soldiers, and war victims.
