This is the French version of a wartime poster issued by the Military Hospitals Commission, an agency established in 1915 to offer medical and convalescent care to returned veterans. It was replaced in 1918 by the Department of Soldiers' Civil Re-establishment after the war. The poster informed disabled soldiers of the benefits available and urged them to contact the Commission if they needed help or advice. Its tone stressed will power and determination in overcoming personal adversity, reflecting the contemporary attitude that assistance programs could not substitute for individual initiative and hard work.
