American World War I posters depicting men, while idealized, often focused on real life figures like soldiers, workers, and fathers. Women, on the other hand, were most often represented as personifications - of our country, humanity, or the Red Cross.
This poster moves beyond the abstract realm and thrusts the viewer into a gritty reality. A torn and tattered soldier fights for his life on the battlefield. Wielding both rifle and grenade, this dynamic figure fearlessly crosses "No Man's Land" to attack the enemy trench. A reminder to those at home-men are giving their lives in the trenches, the least you can do is lend your money to support their sacrifices.
