# Let's give him enough and on time

Painted scene of a soldier in a torn sleeve firing a belt-fed machine gun among scattered cartridge cases, with the line 'Let's give him enough and on time'. No enemy appears. The appeal puts the war worker in the position of supplying one ordinary soldier, a personal, plain-folks framing; any further technique is faint.
