Poster with a light yellow background depicting a Red Cross nurse in the center holding up one end of a brown stretcher and extending the other end in the foreground towards the viewer. The nurse wears a white and greenish-grey uniform, with a badge wrapped around her right arm and a nurse's hat on top of her short brown hair—both featuring a red cross against a white background. An artillery shell bursts in the air at her right behind her. Printed in black, diagonally, across the center of the poster, overlapping with the stretcher: Hold up your end! A large red cross appears directly underneath in the center of the stretcher. Printed in smaller black text, below the cross: WAR FUND WEEK / One Hundred Million Dollars.
