A Good Soldier Sticks to His Post! -And That Includes Soldiers of Production!
A bandaged, helmeted soldier grips a machine gun amid a bright explosion; a card reads 'And that includes soldiers of production!' above a banner for the Labor Management Committee. The tell is transfer: the soldier's endurance under fire is attached to factory workers staying on the job.
