You Go Get 'Em Over Here, While He'll Go Get 'Em Over There
In the upper half a tall Uncle Sam holds up a bond above a crowd of civilians waving bonds under the words 'Buy Liberty Bonds'; in the lower half a helmeted soldier charges with a bayonet across a shell-torn field past men firing from a trench. The two scenes are paired by the slogan, equating buying bonds at home with fighting at the front and showing the crowd already buying.
