| Description | World War II cartoon shows a crowd of civilians, waving money, disembarking from a landing craft and wading ashore to reach a goal labeled "Needed 16 Billions in War Bonds." Drawn shortly after D-Day, the cartoon was an adaptation of a widely reproduced photograph made by the U.S. Coast Guard of American troops landing on the coasts of Normandy. Berryman used this familiar image to urge the public to buy bonds. More than half of the funding for the war came from government borrowing, some of it through massive war bonds campaigns. The phrase "Over There" in the caption was derived from the popular song of the same name by George M. Cohan about troops in Europe in the first World War. |
