The title poses its question directly to civilians: "Are the folks at home backing us up?" It asks readers to answer with money rather than a uniform. In 1918 the U.S. government was financing its share of the First World War through a series of Liberty Loan drives, which sold bonds to ordinary citizens as well as banks and businesses. Posters like this one were a central part of those campaigns, linking a personal purchase to the soldiers fighting overseas. The appeal shows how the war effort reached into everyday life, asking families and workers to take part from home.
