Let's go... Canada! (Canada, 1942)
A wide-eyed young soldier with fixed bayonet and a 'CANADA' shoulder title stands before a large Union Jack. The flag lends the empire's prestige to the call, and the inclusive 'Let's go' invites the viewer to fall in with a movement already under way. The sponsor is printed along the foot of the sheet.
