| Additional Information: | “They Are Giving All – Will You Send Them Wheat?” is an original World War I poster created by American artist Harvey Dunn for the U.S. Food Administration. The government issued this powerful poster during World War I to encourage Americans to conserve wheat so it could feed Allied troops overseas. The dramatic illustration shows American soldiers charging forward across a battlefield filled with smoke and explosions. Dunn captures the urgency and sacrifice of soldiers on the front lines. Beneath the image, the message asks civilians to support the war effort by changing their eating habits and conserving wheat. During World War I, the U.S. Food Administration led a nationwide campaign to reduce domestic wheat consumption. Officials encouraged Americans to substitute cornmeal, rye, and other grains so that more wheat could be shipped to soldiers and Allied nations. Posters like this played a major role in shaping public behavior and strengthening support for the war effort. Harvey Dunn, known for his vivid wartime imagery, created several important posters for the Division of Pictorial Publicity. His work helped communicate the urgency of sacrifice and national unity during the war. Poster Details Title: They Are Giving All – Will You Send Them Wheat?
