The title carries the poster's appeal: "These men have come across, they are at the front now. Join them, enlist in the Navy." It speaks directly to a reader deciding whether to sign up, pointing to men already overseas and urging others to follow. F.X. Leyendecker, whose brother Joseph Christian Leyendecker was better known for magazine covers and advertising, designed it in 1918, the final year of the war, when the Navy was growing quickly and recruiting posters were common. The record's subject headings also list artillery, a reminder of the gunnery work sailors performed aboard ships and at coastal stations.
