The image is of four Marines proudly marching on some tropical beach carrying the U.S. and Marine Corps flags. In the background a battleship can be seen. On either side of the central image is a black and white sketch of Marines in military poses. The image brings to mind the 1915 Marine excursion into Haiti, though undoubtedly the poster was designed to recruit men for the U.S. entry into WWI.
