'Allons-y... Canadiens!' (Canadian Department of National War Services)
A young soldier with a fixed bayonet and a 'CANADA' shoulder title cries out in front of a large, backlit Union Jack. The flag's prestige is attached to the French-language call 'Allons-y... Canadiens!' ('Let's go, Canadians!'), pairing enlistment with the imperial emblem.
