A letterpress poster from 1919 speaks directly to men who came home from the First World War with lasting injuries. Its text tells the disabled soldier or sailor that military and naval authorities will help him, and it points readers to the Federal Board for Vocational Education, the Bureau of War Risk Insurance, and the local Home Service Sections of the American Red Cross for details. The poster was issued with the Red Cross Institute for Crippled and Disabled Men and the Red Cross Institute for the Blind, which ran exhibits on retraining and occupational therapy. Such efforts were part of a wider postwar push to return injured veterans to useful work.
