The title of this poster, "These men have come across, they are at the front now," tells the viewer that American troops have already reached France and asks them to join the Navy. F.X. Leyendecker, an illustrator whose magazine covers and advertising work were well known to American readers before the war, produced it during the First World War. Its subject list includes artillery, a reminder that recruiting appeals of the period often framed the war around the guns and men at the front. The record dates the print only tentatively to 1918.
