description

Summary

Poster showing a military review, with soldiers displaying a German cannon that was captured at the battle of Chateau Thierry.
Text continues: Save fruit pits and nut shells and help save soldiers' lives. The War Department needs the pits and shells because they furnish the best carbon for the Gas Masks which protect our fighters. Make your contribution to your war bureau or local Red Cross Chapter.
Caption: A German gun, one of Hindenburg's own captured by the Americans at Chateau Thierry. Photo shows a group of American soldiers who just returned from the front and brought with them a gun which they captured at Chateau Thierry, France. It is expected that the gun will be given to some city to be located in a park to stand as evidence of our success against the Germans.
