About the Item

This powerful World War II Navy poster emphasizes the urgent sacrifices of war and the crucial role of American production at home. The composition blends dramatic illustrations of combat-wounded sailors and soldiers with photographic images of frontline action and support efforts. At the top, the stirring words of Admiral Ernest J. King, Commander in Chief of the U.S. Fleet, set the tone: “We Will Have to Fight Our Way Ashore…” The bottom line drives the message home—“You’re Building Victory Here Today!”—making a direct appeal to American workers and citizens contributing to the war effort.The poster reflects the intensity and immediacy of wartime struggles, showing the personal cost borne by servicemen and the vital link between home front industry and battlefield success. It captures both the grim reality of combat and the patriotic reassurance that every effort in factories and shipyards directly supported troops engaged in life-or-death battles overseas.Created under the direction of the U.S. Navy during the height of WWII, this poster embodies the era’s government-issued propaganda campaigns designed to rally national unity and reinforce the importance of sacrifice. Its bold typography, vivid imagery, and emotional appeal underscore the seriousness of America’s fight and the essential role of civilian workers in achieving victory.This is an Original Vintage Poster, it is not a reproduction. This poster is conservation mounted, linen backed and in excellent condition. We guarantee the authenticity of all our posters.
