Both the friendly and the enemy soldiers who faced these situations after the end of the war thought that they would have to hide these severe scars for the rest of their lives. But luck was behind their sad story.

Anna Coleman Lad, an American sculptor living in Manchester, Britain at the time, changed that attitude and took the lead in creating the environment for many of these people to come into society and enjoy a normal life. She devoted her entire life to making porcelain and plastic face masks for the soldiers, giving them much of the facial features, skin texture and natural appearance of their hair as before they were mutilated.

Her humanitarian work later became known worldwide as ‘anaplastology’. In recognition of her humanitarian work, she was awarded the Knight (Chevalier) of the Legion of Honor by the French government in 1932.
