World War I propaganda posters

Come on, boys! Do your duty by enlisting now!

The United States Army was quite small in the spring of 1917. A draft was quickly established, but men were urged to enlist for service. This poster, showing a cavalry charge, portrayed military service as heroic.

Poster by: Vojtech Preissig, 1917.
