Its appeal is to Indiana itself: the title asks the state's men to uphold its military tradition. The poster targets recruits for horse artillery, the branch whose gun crews moved cannon quickly behind teams of horses. Indianapolis's Bookwalter-Ball Printing Co. produced this color lithograph in 1917, with artwork by J.D. Ross and lithography by William B. Burford. It dates from the period after the United States entered the war in April 1917, when the army and National Guard were working to fill their ranks with volunteers.
