Poster showing a portrait of General Pershing, with a quote from him in support of the United War Work Campaign. Text: "Cabled from France August 21st, 1918, 'A sense of obligation for the varied and useful service rendered to the army in France by the Y.M.C.A. prompts me to join in the appeal for its further financial support. I have opportunity to observe its operations, measure the quality of its personnel and mark its beneficial influence upon our troops, and I wish unreservedly to commend its work for the Army.'
