The title "Milk for France" suggests one of the relief drives that drew American attention during and after World War I, when food and supplies were sent across the Atlantic to a country under strain. The record does not name the people, place, or date, and the title comes from unverified information the Bain News Service wrote on the negatives or caption cards. The Bain agency was a New York news photo service that sold pictures of current events to newspapers and magazines, and its glass-plate negatives preserve a broad view of public life in the early twentieth century. Treat the subject as a lead to investigate rather than a confirmed fact.
