Trusted Men Trust in You
A dark silhouetted soldier in a steel helmet swings a heavy tool or weapon overhead against a gold striped background, with outlined shapes of figures behind him. The text names the group addressed ('Trusted Men') and asserts they are trusted by the viewer. The tell is the virtue word 'trust' standing in for any stated task, unit or request; the poster says what it is only by its date and number line.
