This poster, showing a photograph of a small boy and girl seated in a cast-iron frying pan as they stare directly at the viewer, urges American soldiers during World War II not to waste food, suggesting that American children will ultimately pay the price. It was issued in 1943 by the Special Service Division of the U.S. military, a branch chiefly responsible for providing entertainment and information to soldiers serving overseas.
