A French appeal to investors, the slogan "On les aura" ("We will get them") echoed the defiant mood of the fighting around Verdun in 1916. Here it serves the Second War Loan, one of the national bond drives the French government used to pay for the war, and the poster asks ordinary citizens to lend their savings to the nation as a patriotic duty. Posters like this were pasted across towns and cities, showing how the war reached beyond the front lines into everyday money, households and daily life.
