Additional Details

An unusual poster, considering the location of its issue. For Maine, "Down East" to put out a poster featuring African-American doughboys is rather odd considering the fact that there were probably not more than 100 black citizens in the state in 1918. A box in the center says "Full Speed Ahead. . .Throw your Full Force into America's War Machine."
