Created in 1918, it features a U.S. Marine seated with a rifle, embodying the strength and readiness of the Marine Corps. The artwork emphasizes the Marine's role as both a soldier and a representative of naval power, appealing to potential recruits by highlighting the honor and valor associated with serving in the Marines. Clarence Underwood, an American illustrator known for his work in magazines and advertisements, created this poster. His style often featured realistic and detailed depictions of people and this solitary Marine. Underwood's artwork features a U. S. Marine resting on a stone wall holding his rifle as he gazes out. In the background you can see a ship that will carry him to a new location thus making him a Sea Soldier.
