Description
Artist Unknown Good Men Win with Good Equipment. Take Care of Yours. Somewhere in the South Pacific, an infantryman completely surrounded by thick jungle foliage searches the surrounding jungle for signs of Japanese troops. This poster has a fair amount of military detail. The soldier has leaves stuck into the webbing of his steel helmet. He wears a watch which may indicate that he’s an officer. His weapon is a carbine with no sling rather than the standard issue M-1 Garand rifle. This may be another indication that he’s an officer, but this is just a guess. Along the bottom border some of the items that he’s been admonished to take good care of are arranged. These include: a M-1 rifle, a field telephone, (often unreliable) a gas mask, pants, a cartridge belt and boots. 28×22 near mint, conservation backed.
