"Back The Attack" An all time classic WW II poster that features a tough paratrooper springing up from his gathered parachute, ready to fight with a Thompson  submachine gun. "We Clear The Way" The Corps of Engineers were the Army's fighting masters of rapid bridge building and other feats of combat  construction- often literally while under enemy fire. This classic poster features tanks crossing a pontoon bridge and a half-track. "Where Skill And Courage Count" The Signal Corps played the important role of providing  radio, wire and teletype communications in combat- sort of like cable or telephone repairmen with rifles and 45 pistols. Also shown is a guy stringing wires in combat. "This Is My War Too!" The WAAC was an auxiliary to the regular Army WAC. Basically they were active duty reservists who filled the many different jobs of typists to truck drivers and a variety of other roles as needed so that more regular Army men and women could be sent to forward areas. "Soldier, Take Care Of Your G.I."  At the beginning of World War II,  the term "G.I.", (which stands for Government Issue, )meant the equipment a soldier was issued. But G.I evolved by the end of the war into meaning a fighting troop or soldier. "Your Metal Saves Our Convoys" It was actually Army  gunners who provided convoy protection and during WW-II the Army actually operated quite a few ships. "Americans Will Always Fight For Liberty" While the cold winters of Europe come to mind here, most  American's forget that the U.S. fought Japanese forces in land, air and sea combat in Alaska's Aleutian Islands, often in Pacific winter weather much worst than anything in Europe. "They Need Food" Whether in Europe or the liberated areas of the Pacific, and including even occupied Japan, American servicemen were famous for their generosity and doing what they could to feed starving civilians, especially  children. Excess U.S. food  supplies saved many young lives. "Silence Means Security"  This is a very memorable  variation of the  "Loose Lips Sink Ships" theme that was prevalent in American and British WW-II posters.  Here, an Army WAC does the honors to remind  everyone to zip those lips. "God Help Me If This Is A Dud"  His life is in your hands. A reminder to all home front defense workers that the quality of their daily work always had a direct impact on some  particular individual someplace on down the line. "We're Moving Up!"  ...Keep Those Supplies Coming! A reminder to the home front workers that each new American victory was a continuous series of forward advances that  required a constant train of  supplies behind the troops. "Nurses Are Needed Now!" One of the constant needs of WW-II aside from combat troops were nurses to take care of the huge number of casualties. Often portrayed in near religious context due in part to the pioneering memory of Florence Nightingale. "The United States Army"  This is actually a pre-war era Classic, Circa late 1930's,  featuring the flag and a somewhat erotic female figure holding a Laurel wreath with the banner "Then- Now- Forever" Created by artist Tom Woodburn A Lt. Col. In the U.S. Army. "U.S. Army"  Guardian of the Colors. Here is another Tom Woodburn classic, Circa late 1930's, featuring an Army color guard with the American flag, and  behind it, the flag of the  U.S. Army. "U.S. Army"  At Home--Abroad Another late 1930's Classic by Army artist Tom Woodburn. One can readily see the strong influence of 1930's design in this poster, including the lineup of the soldiers like a 1930's Hollywood movie musical. "I Need You On The Job Full Time, Don't Get Hurt" Obviously this poster was not directed at soldiers, who got hurt a lot, but at Defense   workers, who were needed to keep producing key items. "More Nurses Are Needed!" Here the Army Nurse Corps is asking for more volunteers as Pacific War casualties mount. Army nurses were sometimes captured or killed as they     attended wounded troops. "Good News From Home" This poster is very early 1942, indicated by the old style helmet and was directed at U.S. soldiers who were fighting, and often losing battles waiting for promised supplies. "Attack, Attack, Attack" This poster does not mince words or meanings. Waves of troops and bombers are     heading for enemy strongholds and it was to psych-up everyone to move into high gear. General Dwight D. Eisenhower did his best work as a planner and coordinator, which is what generals are supposed to do, and bickering between Allies made things tougher, making political skills very crucial. "Keep It Coming!" The message here was that   airpower, primarily bombing missions, saved the lives of ground forces, which had to do the real dirty work in battles on small Pacific islands. "Your Job Is To Keep 'Em Shooting!" This poster was aimed at munitions plant workers to keep up the quality and production of ammunition that was being quickly used up. "Supply Lines Are Life Lines" This poster shows what frontline logistics bases in Papua New Guinea and the New   Hebrides were like- troops and civilian workers unloading  supplies under fire. "I Want You For U.S. Army" This is the all time classic    portrait of Uncle Sam by  James Montgomery Flagg,  an outstanding artist of his day. From any view, Uncle Sam's eyes and finger are on You. "You've Got What It Takes Soldier" A new WW II version of Uncle Sam, jacket off, combat helmet and M-1 rifle slung over his shoulder. By then nearly every male was a potential soldier.  "Nurses Are Needed Now!" An Army nurse was the female equivalent of Uncle Sam, she didn't need to point, she just looked at you. If you were a young woman in those dark days, could you say 'no'? "Stay On The Job To Finish The Job" There was no time for coffee breaks and chit-chat in combat so production workers, which this poster is aimed at, were reminded not to goof-off.
