title: [A special collection, testimony of the national assistance for the fight against tuberculosis in the trenches (1914 - 1917)].
abstract: The authors try to explain the human and patriotic reasons of the sale of vignettes and little medals in 1917. It was the year when tuberculosis raged in trenches. On Léon Bourgeois's instigation the country was urged for the difficult struggle and people were thanked for their gift by vignettes and medals some of which were signed by the famous artist René Lalique (1860-1945). The authors show a rare and complete collection human and patriotic reasons.
