Administration Feed Morgan Trench Trenches Waste
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative WWI poster, titled "Feed a Fighter" and designed by W. Morgan in 1917-1918, is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during the First World War. The image depicts soldiers huddled in the trenches on the Western Front, with a simple yet powerful message urging viewers to "Feed a Fighter. Eat only what you need -- Waste nothing." The United States Food Administration, which commissioned this poster, aimed to promote food conservation and reduce food waste during the war. With resources stretched thin and the need to support the troops both at home and abroad, every morsel of food was precious. The poster's design effectively conveys the urgency of the situation, with the gaunt faces of the soldiers in the trenches serving as a stark reminder of the consequences of waste. The poster's historical significance is underscored by its vintage aesthetic, with its bold typography and evocative imagery. The use of simple, clear language and a direct appeal to the viewer's sense of duty and compassion make it an effective tool for raising awareness and inspiring action. As we reflect on the sacrifices made during the First World War, this poster serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of community, resourcefulness, and the collective effort required to overcome adversity. Its enduring appeal and historical significance make it a valuable addition to any collection of WWI memorabilia or historical art.
