"I Want You" was designed by J. M. Flagg in 1917 and was used to recruit soldiers for both WW I and WW II. It wad based on the original British Lord Kitchener "Wants You" poster of three years earlier.

Great post. WWII government posters are plentiful and in the public domain. I turned them into 3 free iBooks on US Homefront in WWII. Here's the first: "Why We Fight: WWII and the Art of Public Persuasion" Filled with posters, films and audio files from the era. Free at Apple bookstore https://books.apple.com/us/book/why-we-fight/id569278505
