Edward graduated in 1917 and then went on to become the assistant field director for the Red Cross in England, and also was with the Red Cross forces that went to the Murman Coast. In 1919 he wrote:
My experience has been varied since I last wrote you, having spent two months in Northern Russia at Arch Angel and Murmansk. The authorities were pleased to allow me my Sundays free for preaching and I preached three times some Sundays. At one service on Board ship ten took a stand for Christ. On the return voyage a highly cultured Russian accepted the Lord, and in further conversation with him later I found him to be very earnest in his stand. The naval and military authorities of the United States in Murmansk sent me a separate letter of appreciation of my work there and the Italiam military commander presented me with a beautiful fur-lined coat, sent for me for a personal interview and then gave me his autograph. Col. Endicott, the Red Cross Commissioner for Great Britain, in commenting on testimony I gave in a certain matter pertaining to Russia, said, "Hollowell, I told Major Rockwell that we would depend on your word alone in this matter,' I have had more opportunity to do definite work for Him than ever in my life before.The King's Business, Vol. 10.4, April 1919, pg 312, http://www2.biola.edu/kingsbusiness/view/10/4/25
