Original poster mounted on linen. Page measures 44" x 27 3/8". This World War I poster is part of a series published by the United War Work Campaign, or UWWC, a coalition of seven service organizations charged with raising $170,000,000 to help demobilize the army and maintain morale in the final few years of the war. The campaign was a success, and was at the time recognized as the largest fundraising event in history. The War Camp Community Service was one of two secular organizations in the campaign. Their work was largely focused on the social and recreational needs of enlisted men in homefront training camps. This poster promotes New York War Camp Community Service, at 49-55 West 27th Street, and features artwork of a man in colonial garb welcoming three servicemen to New York City, signed "Wag '18". An illustration of a bald eagle holding a banner with the US flag is included alongside the text "Your Uniform is your Pass, We Can Tell You What To Do, What To See, Where To Eat, Where To Sleep." Poster is in good condition, with minor scuffing and abrasions. Otherwise pleasing with vibrant colors. Folded as issued. Seller Inventory # 296625
