Description
Depicts the heroic figure of a soldier in monochromatic shades of red, holding a hand grenade in his right hand, and preparing to throw it at the enemy. His body is twisted like a spring, and he is shouting; behind him is barbed wire shown in silhouette against a blue background. The text frames the image, with the title [white writing against a blue background] 'LET 'EM HAVE IT' running across the top of the poster. The design is based on a poster by Bernard Perlin, and printed in 1943 by the US Department of Treasury.
