W.W.I: Litho Postcard for Red Cross: Landsturm 1914

World War One: Artist H. Grim Rottmayer designed this lithographed postcard for the Red Cross organization, the Kriegshilfebuerau and the Kriegsfursorgeamt.

The German Army had four classifications of military service; Active, Reserve, Landwehr and Landsturm. At the age of 17, a man might be called up to serve in the Landsturm 1st Ban, a sort of National Guard for home defense.
