The title suggests a story of help carried through to the end, and this 1919 picture reflects the American Red Cross's role after the fighting stopped. During and after World War I, the Red Cross ran canteens, hospital aid, and information services that helped families trace missing soldiers and stay in touch with men overseas. That work continued into 1919, as demobilization sent millions of troops home, many of whom needed help with pay, medical care, and the return to civilian life. Images like this one show how the organization presented that role to the public.
