Did you give them enough...on time?
Photomontage of three wounded soldiers on stretchers eating from cups beside a film-strip of battlefield and supply-office stills, headed 'Did you give them enough...on time?' with 'These men counted on you' and a note about a 20-minute film. The tell for fear-appeal is the guilt question put over images of casualties (with transfer of the soldiers' standing to the viewer's supply job).
