Book Description
Excerpt from The Organization, Work, and Method of the Red Cross Institute for Crippled and Disabled Men The first step is, necessarily, an individual study of each cripple who is a candidate for training. Rarely are two men crippled alike. Their educational and industrial experiences have been different. Their tastes and aptitudes vary greatly. All these are ele ments in the problem. As a general rule, a man should be trained for an occupation in which any knowledge or skill he may have already acquired may be turned to his advantage. This does not mean that a man who has been a misfit in the trade he followed before his injury may not be taught a new one, but economy demands that as little as possible be scrapped in making over the man industrially. A mechanic should ordinarily be trained for a mechanical trade, while a man with commercial tastes should be fitted for a different career.

Book Description
Bodies of Work examines the transnational development of large-scale national systems, international organizations, technologies, and cultural material aimed at rehabilitating Allied ex-servicemen, disabled in the First World War. When nations mobilised in August 1914, it was thought that casualties would be minimal and the war would be quickly over. Little consideration was given to what ought to be done for those men whose bodies would forever bear the marks of war's destruction. Julie M. Powell charts how rehabilitation emerged as the best means to deal with millions of disabled ex-servicemen. She considers the ways in which rehabilitation was shaped by both durable and discrete influences, including social reformism, paternalist philanthropy, the movement for workers' rights, patriotism, class tensions, cultural ideas about manliness and disability, nationalism, and internationalism. Powell sheds light on the ways in which rehabilitation systems became sites for the contestation and maintenance of boundaries of belonging.
