Next! (Japan) 6th War Loan, WFD 958-B
A soldier's grimacing face in a camouflaged helmet looms over a map of the Japanese home islands labelled JAPAN, with the 6th War Loan seal at left showing a bomb falling onto a rising-sun flag. The bond drive borrows the soldier's resolve and the enemy flag to present the purchase as the next military blow.
