EDITORS COMMENTS
We Need You - A Call to Service from the American Red Cross, 1918 This evocative poster, created by the American Red Cross during World War I, features a heartfelt appeal to young women to join the war effort. The image shows a Red Cross nurse, dressed in her distinctive uniform, earnestly pleading with a young woman. Her impassioned gaze and outstretched hand convey a sense of urgency and necessity. In the background, another nurse attends to a wounded soldier, her focused expression and steady hands a testament to the vital work being done. The poster's design is simple yet powerful, with bold, red text urging viewers to "Register Now" and "Give Two Years of Your Life for the War." The use of patriotic colors and the evocative tagline, "We Need You," underscore the importance of the cause and the sacrifices being made by those on the home front. The poster is a poignant reminder of the critical role the American Red Cross played during World War I, providing essential support to soldiers and their families both at home and abroad. It also speaks to the broader theme of service and sacrifice that characterized the war years, as millions of Americans answered the call to duty in various capacities. Today, this poster stands as a powerful symbol of the enduring spirit of service and the importance of coming together to support those in need. Its message remains relevant, as we continue to face challenges both at home and abroad that require the collective efforts of individuals and communities.
