During World War I, the U.S. Government’s Committee for Public Information employed artists, who followed troops into France with the American Expeditionary Forces (AEF) during the war. Commissioned as officers in the Corps of Engineers, the artists were assigned to create artwork in a variety of media to show the war to Americans back home.
Official American military artist Capt. Harvey Dunn made this drawing. "Walking Cases" shows wounded men stopping for a rest on their way back from the firing line.
