War-Zone Home for our Boys 'Overthere', the 1917 U.S. World War I (WWI) Home Front poster ("Always at the service of our brave troops. If our boys, tired and mud-stained, could only knock at your door tonight, how wonderfully you would minister to them. With what eagerness you would comfort them. You would do this in your homes. Help the Y.M.C.A. to do this for you in the camps and right up to the firing line - where you cannot go. Millions of enlisted men have felt the home touch of the Y.M.C.A. Millions have written letters, played games, read, enjoyed entertainment at the Sign of the Red Triangle. Millions have thanked God for the warm, friendly Y.M.C.A. as a relief from the cold, lonesome camp and trench life. But it takes millions of dollars to provide these vital home ties. And it takes heroic giving. $35,000,000 at least needed to carry on this Y.M.C.A. work here and overseas to July 1, 1918. The task is colossal. Your support must be generous."; "Help Keep These Home Fires Burning. Some are Giving Thousands. Thousands are Giving Something.

Butler art of soldiers enjoying warmth, food and shelter Artist: John F. Butler Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster was mounted onto a thin linen with no excess (this was almost surely done soon after it was created). There are smudges and small tears around the edges, with diagonal creases in three corners. The poster could be displayed and enjoyed just as it is, or certainly, it could be removed from the old linen and professionally backed. Learn More about condition grades
