The title's yelled phrase, "E-e-e-yah-yip," reads as a battle cry, and this 1917 color lithograph pairs it with an invitation to go over with the U.S. Marines. The United States had entered the First World War that April, and the Marine Corps was expanding quickly, so posters like this one aimed to draw young men into its ranks. The rifles and bayonets shown on the poster point to the close combat the Marines were known for. The record places it under a Navy recruiting station, since Marine enlistment was handled through naval offices at the time.
