Billed as a special edition of Universal Current Events, this chromolithograph promises the "latest views of our boys in the service," the American troops who fought in Europe after the United States entered the First World War in April 1917. The newsreel was produced by the Universal Film Manufacturing Company, and the poster was printed in New York by the Hegeman Print. Its figures of soldiers and Uncle Sam show how the war was packaged for American audiences, using film and bold color to bring the front home.
