The caption, "Remember we must feed Daddy too," speaks directly to children and mothers, placing the war's demands on the family kitchen rather than the battlefield. Printed in Toronto in 1918 by Rous & Mann and signed by R.E. Johnston, this color lithograph belongs to Canada's wartime food conservation campaign, when households were urged to cut waste and limit certain staples so more could go to troops and Allied countries. Its gentle, family-centered appeal shows how the home front was enlisted in the war effort, casting ordinary economy as a patriotic duty.
