Lucky for me, the stuff you made got there in time
Illustrated poster of a wounded soldier in a wheelchair, arm in a cast, ribbons on his shirt, looking at the viewer. The quoted line, set in his voice, thanks the war worker who made the supplies. The technique is testimonial: a wounded serviceman speaks to production workers.
