If the cap fits wear it! Canada needs you somewhere on the war front
Against a blue background, this recruiting poster represents nine caps, each with a hand saluting. Each cap symbolizes one sector of the war effort, which needed volunteers.  Larger image
Abugov, recruiting poster, 1939-1945

This poster was created by the National Film Board of Canada and invites the whole population to join the "total" war effort, both at the front overseas (hence the Air Force, Navy and Army caps) and on the home front, working in agriculture or in industry to make equipment for the war.
