An emotionally and graphically powerful image…. very good Image by artist depicting a devastating battlefield where a young red cross nurse is dragging a wounded soldier from the trenches. During World War I many medical services were provided by the nurses who volunteered for service. The challenge of helping wounded military personnel involved in trench and gas warfare was met by thousands of truly heroic American women. To recruit these nurses many of America? most talented artists, known for creating portraits of young women, illustrated beautiful posters that both recruited, but also romanticized, these young heroines. Many of these posters solicited funds and supplies to help nurses comfort the wounded and perform their other services.
