The First World War proved to be a fertile breeding ground for technology. New inventions like the tank were introduced to inflict more damage and win battles, while in surgery and medicine new ways were found to repair those damaged. The thousands of severely mutilated soldiers, the men without a face, were given new noses, ears and jaws thanks to the tender beginnings of plastic surgery. On the home front, film footage shows the horrors of the real war as large as life on the big screen to those who stayed behind. Not only the soldiers, but all of society was traumatized: when an orphaned soldier wandered around not knowing where he was and his photo appeared in the paper, hundreds of mothers, children and girlfriends came forward to claim them as their own husband, friend or father.
