Cool poster. Interesting note: it appears that the rifle is an M1903, but the grips on the bayonet appear consistant with the M1917 bayo. Thanks for sharing.
The picture was also based on a French poster from WWI, which showed a (French) soldier in almost the same pose.
I caught that about the bayo. Wonder how that happened?Quote:

Here's the French poster from World War I that the U.S. poster in the first post was based on together with the U.S poster - notice the similarities.
