Go Over with US Marines: A Rousing Call to Join the Fight in World War I (circa 1917) This evocative and energetic recruitment poster from World War I, titled "Go Over with US Marines," was designed to inspire American men to enlist and join the US Marine Corps in the ongoing conflict. The image features a group of determined and shouting Marines, each brandishing a rifle or bayonet and donning helmets, as they charge forward with an air of unyielding resolve. The orange, black, and brown color palette adds a sense of urgency and intensity to the scene, while the bold, block letters of the text above the Marines' heads, "E-E-E-Yah-Yip," echo the distinctive call of the Corps. The poster's tagline, "Go Over with US Marines," emphasizes the idea of going to the front lines and participating directly in the war effort. The image of the Marines, known for their bravery and discipline, was intended to instill a sense of pride and camaraderie in potential recruits, as well as a desire to be part of a larger cause. The poster's powerful imagery and rousing call to action were effective in encouraging thousands of young men to enlist and serve their country during a time of great need. As the United States entered the First World War in 1917, recruitment posters like this one played a crucial role in mobilizing the public and generating support for the war effort. The poster serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the men and women who answered the call to serve during this pivotal moment in history.
