The French words "Vous aussi" ("You too") open with a direct appeal to the viewer to take part in the war effort. By 1917, France had been at war for nearly three years, and the strain on civilians was growing. Governments across the combatant nations used posters like this to ask people at home to buy war bonds, work in factories, and conserve food and materials. Messages of this kind were aimed at readers who were not in uniform, reminding them that the fighting depended on support from home as much as on soldiers at the front. Its inclusive phrasing is worth noticing, since it tried to make every citizen feel personally responsible.
