# Eux aussi achètent des obligations de la Victoire (Canada Victory Loan, French-language poster)

A wide painted scene of Canadian infantrymen in steel helmets advancing past a wrecked gun and splintered timber under drifting smoke, above the headline 'They too are buying Victory Bonds'. The soldiers' combat is placed beside the reader's bond purchase, attaching the fighting men's standing to the loan (transfer); a small caption says the picture reproduces an army painting.
