Canine patriotism in the form of a "devil dog" (the German nickname for the U.S. Marines) in a marine's helmet, chasing a dachshund in a German Pickelhaube helmet. Although this poster has been attributed to Charles Buckles Falls, the monogram "H." suggests a different artist. Rawls p. 253, Borkan p. 40.
