The message of this propaganda poster is to convince the public to give up their food for the soldiers and saying that "well fed soldiers will win the war", when in reality the soldiers were very hungry, even starving regardless of how much food there was because of the vast number of troops and the short supply of food. The intended audience for this poster would be the men, women and children on the home front because their "job" was to help support the war by saving food or recycling or really anything that could benefit the troops overseas. Some of the techniques used in the poster are for one, the explosion going off in the background to show people how bad war is and much danger the troops were in. Also the fact that some of the words (YOU, FOOD, WILL WIN, and WAR) are capitalized showing how eager the troops are to get food. There is also the soldier with a straight face pointing at the wood "FOOD" showing that they are in desperate need of food.
