The Mask Maker

During World War I, soldiers severely disfigured in combat were encouraged by the French government not to show their faces for fear of tainting the heroic image of the soldier. Had they survived unscathed, or had they died, they might have been called heroes. Instead, they were called the men with broken faces and were sentenced to the shadows. This is a story of just such a scarred soldier and a mask maker whose internal scars led him to help.
