A soldier sits down to write a letter in this color poster, which its caption identifies as "Writing home." The poster promotes War Camp Community Service, a program established in 1917 to offer recreation and wholesome leisure to servicemen near training camps across the United States. Posters like this one supported fundraising for those services during the war. The record dates it only to 1917 or 1918, the years of American involvement in World War I.
