Know Him by This Sign - The Medical Caduceus - The Wounds of War Are Not All Healed
EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful recruiting poster from 1919, featuring the iconic medical caduceus, serves as a poignant reminder of the enduring impact of war on the human body and spirit. The image presents a bust portrait of a determined man, clad in a hat and gazing intently at the viewer. A caduceus pin, the internationally recognized symbol of the medical profession, adorns his lapel. The caduceus, an ancient Greek symbol of healing, has been used in medical contexts since antiquity. In this poster, it serves as a potent symbol of hope and healing amidst the devastation of war. However, the caption beneath the image, "The wounds of war are not all healed," underscores the reality that physical and emotional scars remain long after the fighting has ceased. The use of the caduceus as a symbol of medical care and healing is particularly poignant in the context of the aftermath of World War I. The war had left countless soldiers with injuries, both visible and invisible, that required extensive medical attention. The US Army Medical Department, which commissioned this poster, played a vital role in treating the wounded and helping them recover. This poster serves as a testament to the enduring power of symbolism and the importance of medical care in times of conflict. Its evocative imagery and powerful message continue to resonate with audiences today, reminding us of the sacrifices made by those who serve in the military and the crucial role of medical professionals in their care.
