What you’re looking at

This wartime propaganda cartoon depicts a commanding officer (labeled "British Labor Gold" on the sun/insignia) directing a worker or soldier toward combat. The phrase "Over There!" references the popular WWI song encouraging American soldiers to fight in Europe. The cartoon appears to promote British-American labor cooperation for the war effort, showing British leadership directing British workers to military service. The pickaxe suggests labor being mobilized from civilian industry into warfare. The "British Labor Gold" label indicates the cartoon frames British workers as a valuable national resource being deployed for military purposes. This is likely from Judge's WWI-era coverage, promoting Allied war mobilization and American support for British military efforts.
