Its title, "My Soldier," and its depiction of a child at prayer tie the home front directly to a man serving overseas. The poster promoted the Third Liberty Loan, a federal bond drive held in 1918 to finance the United States' war effort after it entered the conflict in April 1917. Campaigns like this one relied heavily on posters that appealed to family loyalty and everyday sacrifice rather than to battle scenes. The color lithograph was printed by the Matthews-Northrup Works of Buffalo, New York, and is credited to the artist H.H. Green.
