If You Only Knew!" asks viewers to picture what their own comfort hides from the men in uniform, and it pairs that appeal with a call for money. The United War Work Campaign combined fundraising for several wartime welfare organizations, including the YMCA, the YWCA, the Salvation Army and the Knights of Columbus, which ran canteens, writing rooms and recreation for troops in training camps and overseas. Posters like this one relied on sentiment and a little guilt, asking people at home to imagine the conditions soldiers faced. Worth noticing is how the design makes a fundraising drive feel like a personal debt owed to the men who were serving.
