Excerpt from Rehabilitation of the War Cripple The first country to act in preparation for cripples of the present war was Germany, the national associ ation in the interest of the deformed issuing a call to its members eight days after the outbreak of hostilities. The next move was in France, when Edouard Herriot, mayor of Lyons, undertook the organization in that city of a municipal training school for the mutil???s de la guerre.
