HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE: During World War I tens of thousands of American Red Cross nurses braved the horrors of trench warfare to give medical aid and comfort to the Allied forces. Posters such as this one recruited the nurses, many of them new graduates of nursing schools.

DESCRIPTION: A powerful image features a young woman in a Red Cross nurse uniform standing erect against a background of tents in a military encampment.

HEADLINE: Written on the clouds of the landscape: Five thousand by June.

CAPTION: Graduate nurses your country needs you.

ARTIST: Carl Rakeman, 1878 to 1965, created the original lithograph on which this print is based. A few years after completing this poster, Mr. Rakeman joined the United States Department of Agriculture, Bureau of Public Roads, where he completed hundreds of paintings depicting transportation events and historical themes.
