Back him up!" is the line that sets this 1917 Canadian poster apart, urging viewers to buy Victory Bonds as a way of supporting a soldier at the front. Printed as a color lithograph, it belongs to the wartime Victory Loan drives, when the Canadian government raised money through bond sales to fund the war effort. The record also credits the Canada Food Board as a sponsor, a reminder that wartime agencies often shared promotional work on the home front.
