The title promises a woman's firsthand account of service overseas, and the poster invites audiences to hear it at a Chautauqua, the traveling lecture and performance circuit that brought speakers to towns across the United States. Printed in 1919 by the Thomsen-Ellis Company of Baltimore and New York and designed by illustrator Gordon Grant, this chromolithograph is tied to the American Red Cross, which used such appeals to share wartime nursing and medical work with civilians after the armistice. Its focus on the medical side of World War I shows how the organization worked to keep home audiences connected to the care given to soldiers abroad.
