"Kill japs, kill japs, KILL MORE JAPS!"

A sign for the incoming ships at the US Navy base on Tulagi, in the South Pacific.

ADMIRAL HALSEY says

"Kill japs, kill japs, KILL MORE JAPS!"

You will help kill the yellow bastards

if YOU DO YOUR JOB WELL

Fleet Admiral William Frederick Halsey, Jr., (1882 – 1959)

These billboards "were at most American bases"

Was he inspired by Soviet poetry (Ilya Ehrenburg)?

The date of the quote might help.

October 1942 apparently.

The Zionist Ehrenburg was perhaps inspired by Halsey, but more probably by his rabbi.

Addendum - by this Site:

The original uncropped photo of the "Kill japs"-sign can be found here:

Wikimedia provides the following description/explanatory text to the July 1943 photo:
The U.S. Navy light cruiser USS Honolulu (CL-48) in Tulagi Harbor, Solomon Islands, for temporary repair of damage received when she was torpedoed in the bow during the Battle of Kolombangara. USS Vireo (AT-144) is assisting the damaged cruiser.
Original caption: (Note the) motivational sign at the Tulagi fleet landing, July 1943. Reportedly erected by Captain Oliver O. (Scrappy) Kessing, USN, commander of the Tulagi Naval base. This sign is best explained in the words of the historian (and participant in contemporary actions in the Solomons) Samuel Eliot Morison, writing in the later 1940s about war zone attitudes at the height of the Guadalcanal campaign: ... thank God for Halsey, exuding strength and confidence; for his slogan, which 'Scrappy' Kessing painted up over the fleet landing at Tulagi in letters two feet tall: KILL JAPS, KILL JAPS, KILL MORE JAPS! This may shock you, reader; but it is exactly how we felt. We were fighting no civilized, knightly war. We cheered when the Japs were dying. We were back to primitive days of Indian fighting on the American frontier; no holds barred and no quarter. [...] Quoted from History of United States Naval Operations in World War II, Volume V: The Struggle for Guadalcanal, page 187."

Another angle of the same sign:
