    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[The broadside depicts a man in a fur-collared blue coat and blue-banded hat in the foreground with a man and woman in red and a cafe in the background. William Herschell's poem, An impeded patriot, "is printed below the image (I've dealt the pro-Huns mighty knocks,/Knitted helmets, sweaters, socks,/I've worked for Red Cross, French Relief,--/Declared each profiteer a thief,/I've done a lot of work like that,/Yet I can't fight--my feet are flat!/--William Herschell.)"]]></dcterms:description>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Statement of responsibility: William Herschell. At end of text: Drawing by Kin Hubbard. Published by The French Relief Fund. The Indianapolis Branch of The American Fund for French Wounded. Rare Books copyPurchased from R. &amp; A. Petrilla, 2012. World War I began as a conflict between the Allies (France, the United Kingdom, and Russia) and the Central Powers (Germany and Austria-Hungary). The assassination of Archduke Francis Ferdinand, the heir to the throne of Austria-Hungary and his wife Sophie ignited the war in 1914. Italy joined the Allies in 1915, followed by the United States in 1917. A ceasefire was declared at 11 AM on 11 November 1918. American watercolorist Mrs. Mamie Bybee Milliken originated the idea of these comic Valentines. Indiana authors and artists co-operated in the project and she was able to have them ready for the families to send off to the boys Over There "for February 14, 1918. Originally issued as a portfolio set of twelve."]]></dcterms:description>
