The title promises more than a single moment of rescue. Its phrase "sees a man through" suggests help that carries on from one stage to the next. In 1919, the year after the armistice, millions of soldiers were returning home, and the Red Cross ran programs offering medical care, help finding work, and assistance reconnecting with families. The title's wording makes that aid personal, focusing on one man rather than on the large organization behind the effort.
