The caption echoes the image in this poster of the Arc de Triomphe in Paris - symbol of victory and of the Unknown
Soldier. The poster shows the whole tradition of French victory in battle which it is the duty of the modern troops to maintain. 'SEM' is
well-known as a satirical cartoonist and the cartoon element is obvious in this poster.
