Soldat, La Patrie Compte Sur Toi

Predominantly tan or discolored white poster with red and black lettering. Visual images are illustrations of a soldier's head, a soldier embracing a woman, a man sitting on a bench in front of a hospital, and a skull and crossbones. Text below title states that the country needs the soldier to have all his strength and urges him to resist the seductions of the street lest he contract a disease as dangerous as the war itself and die in vain, without honor. Lithographer information in lower right corner.
