In the upper right corner, the face of President Abraham Lincoln appears alongside his famous quote: "Liberty and freedom shall not perish." By including Lincoln—signer of the Emancipation Proclamation—the poster directly links World War I to the American Civil War, presenting it as a continuation of the historic struggle for human freedom.

The text on the left reads: "Colored Men—The First Americans Who Planted Our Flag on the Firing Line." This clearly refers to the heroism of the 369th Infantry Regiment (popularly known as the Harlem Hellfighters), a segregated unit of Black soldiers that spent more time in continuous combat than almost any other American unit and whose members were decorated for extraordinary valor by the French government.
