Giant Artillery Tractor Used By U.S. Marines
Poster featuring a photograph of a Marine corpsman peeking out from behind an artillery tractor. Poster text reads: "Giant Artillery Tractor Used by U.S. Marines. Quantico, VA. — Chug-chugging over seemingly impassable roads and negotiating steep hills over adverse conditions, the gasoline tractor used by U. S. Marines, hauls heavy artillery pieces from place to place with little effort. Perhaps you didn't know that Marines are artillerymen. Yes indeed! They are infantrymen too, as well as signalmen, engineers and aviators. The wide range of their uselessness makes U.S. Marine service very attractive for the red-blooded young man looking for something different. This Photo Furnished by U. S. Marine Corps Recruiting Station." |
