# Faites vite... Faites bien. Leur victoire sera la vôtre [Do it fast... Do it well. Their victory will be yours]

Seen over sailors' shoulders on a warship deck flying the White Ensign, a depth-charge or shell burst rises from the sea between two other ships. The line 'Leur victoire sera la vôtre' folds the home-front worker's output into the sailors' result, so their success is also the reader's (identity-fusion).
