The Medical, Nursing and the Red Cross series includes World War I posters that encouraged support for medical service. The Red Cross in particular played a crucial role in mobilizing public assistance during the war years. The posters highlight the vital role of nursing in wartime and convey the urgent need for more nursing volunteers. Some posters appealed directly for women to join nursing efforts. This recruitment strategy aimed to tap into the sense of duty and patriotism felt by many women during the war.
