Few wartime posters pair a soldier's pack with a mother and child as directly as this lithograph, which is dated January 23, 1916, and titled for the Puy de Dôme. It is signed by Adolphe Willette, a Parisian illustrator known for sentimental and satirical drawings. The subject is the equipment a French soldier carried into the field, presented as something families at home could help provide. The poster ties the front to the domestic front, asking civilians to see the soldier's kit as a shared responsibility.
