Description

This 1918 World War I poster, illustrated by Wallace Morgan, carries the powerful slogan "Feed a Fighter – Eat only what you need – Waste nothing – That he and his family may have enough." Produced by the United States Food Administration, the poster urges civilians to conserve food so that soldiers at the front and their families at home can be well-supplied.

The image shows a weary soldier in the trenches, wrapped in his coat, helmeted, and holding a metal cup as he takes a brief moment of rest. His surroundings are rugged and shadowed, evoking the harsh conditions on the front lines. In the background, other soldiers perform routine tasks, reinforcing the message of sacrifice and the importance of supporting those in combat by minimizing waste at home. Morgan’s gritty, expressionistic style and the soldier's somber expression underline the gravity of the appeal, making the viewer feel a personal responsibility toward those enduring the hardships of war.
