Victory of the Allies Is Assured
A painted scene shows amphibious 'Duck' vehicles carrying helmeted soldiers through surf to a beach, with a Union Flag on the lead vehicle, ships behind and aircraft overhead. The caption beneath the picture reads that Ducks were used for the first time in the Mediterranean landings, under the slogan 'Victory of the Allies is assured'. The tell for card-stacking is a single successful landing offered as proof of an unconditional outcome, with no losses or costs shown; the tell for transfer is the Union Flag placed on the central vehicle.
