Title

Help Them - Keep Your War Savings Pledge

Description

This poster depicts soldiers firing machine guns with a stream of War Savings Stamps forming a gun cartridge. Americans were encouraged to buy the stamps to help fund the US involvement in the war, and posters like this one both raised awareness of the program and connected civilian participation to success on the battlefield.
