Civilians, when we go through this we need all the help and comfort you can give" is the line that addresses people at home directly. The lithograph was produced for the Jewish Welfare Board, which worked with Jewish servicemen, and it was issued for the United War Work Campaign's week of November 11, 1918. That was the day the Armistice ended fighting in Europe, so the appeal reached the public just as the war was ending. The Presbyterian Church in the U.S.A. is listed as a sponsor, reflecting the campaign's joint religious backing.
