The title "Over There" points to George M. Cohan's song of 1917, which became one of the most popular marching tunes of the war after the United States entered the conflict that April. Its lyrics promised that American troops would soon cross the Atlantic and bring the fighting to a close, and the phrase quickly spread through recruiting drives and wartime publicity. The "US Navy" line in the title suggests the image was aimed at sailors or at men considering enlisting in the service. Wartime images like this one often mixed patriotic music, national pride, and calls to service, and they reflected how quickly the nation's war effort was organized in 1917.
