Description
These three photographs depict the prosthesis donated by the American YMCA to help severely wounded prisoners regain some of their abilities after losing limbs. By providing state-of-the-art prostheses and physical rehabilitation, the Association sought to help these unfortunates learn new trades so they could support their families after the war and not become a burden on society.
