All together, mates! Let's sink 'em!
Commercial war poster: a helmeted, muscular sailor in an undershirt grimly carries a large naval shell toward a gun crew, with shell bursts and gunfire on the sea behind. The headline 'All Together, Mates!' with 'Let's sink 'em!' calls the viewer into a shared effort (bandwagon), in action-illustration style.
