A man is probably making a rifle. There is a flag behind him with a soldier holding a gun. They are both in the same position. One man is working hard at home, and one man is working hard at war. The message is that your jobs at home are as important as those at war. It's telling the workers you may not be at the war front, but you are still helping by making weapons.
Lord Kitchener is pointing his right hand at the people who are looking at the poster and he is saying that he wants them to join the army. It is a personal message to young men in Britain. It is very persuasive.
There is a man (supposed to be Uncle Sam) who is pointing at the reader saying, "I want you in the Navy and I want you now". He is wearing the colours of the American flag. His hat is decorated with stars on a blue background. The poster tries to make young men join up for the army because the phrase "I want you" makes the men think that they are actually wanted and needed. It is a very personalized message.
