A popular image on recruiting posters for the European War, this painting tries to bring to viewers’ minds recent successes enjoyed by the United States Marine Corps in Caribbean actions. Its title and composition are reminiscent of the famous painting “Spirit of ‘76” by Archibald Willard, which was popular at the time. Both paintings were intended to engender a spirit of patriotism and determination in viewers. In this one, a color guard leads Marines into action across tropical beaches: proud, well-equipped, and prepared for action.
