Apply a Material to Multiple Objects

I have a wall of sandbags that I’ve modelled, and I want to apply an image texture to all of them. I made a material with that texture, but I can’t seem to apply it. I can apply it to individual objects, but when I select the entire row and click (link to object -> sandbag material.001) nothing happens. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,

Vendetta
