Few wartime posters ask for help as directly as this one, which pairs a Red Cross nurse with a wounded soldier under a single word. Dated 1914, the year fighting spread across Europe, it belongs to a wave of relief appeals that asked civilians to donate money, supplies and time for the sick and injured. The Red Cross, founded in Geneva in 1863, relied heavily on posters like this to reach people who would never see a battlefield. Pairing a caregiver with a patient turns a request for money into a personal appeal, which is worth noticing when you consider how the message was meant to move its viewers.
