The Red Cross supplies 30,000 people each week with information concerning relatives in the fighting forces at home and overseas.
—
The American Red Cross experienced tremendous growth as a national humanitarian organization after the United States’ entry into the First World War in April 1917. President Woodrow Wilson appointed a War Council to direct its activities.
In this poster, the Red Cross Bureau of Communication promotes itself as a conduit between soldiers serving “over there”—wounded, dead, missing or imprisoned—and their families at home: “Getting information concerning the fate of American soldiers in the thick of the fighting in France is the most important part of the work now being performed.”
Description: The Red Cross supplies 30,000 people each week with information concerning relatives in the fighting forces at home and overseas.
