The title speaks directly to the soldier, asking him to consider the woman at home and what she is thinking of him. Issued for the War Work Council of the Young Men's Christian Association, the poster belongs to the wartime campaign against venereal disease, which the U.S. Army and Navy treated as a serious threat to troop health and readiness during the First World War. Posters of this kind often paired appeals to family loyalty with short verse, blending moral persuasion and public health advice in a way that shows how openly the subject was addressed during the war.
