Description

Australian Commonwealth Military Forces Second World War recruitment poster. The image of a woman holding her baby wrapped in a blanket in brown monotones against the colour backdrop of a red Australian Flag dominates the majority of the poster. The image is highlighted in white which creates a glow around the figures. The main title and text message frame the image at the top, curved to match contours of the mother's head. The poster conflates notions of national loyalty and familial loyalty through military service.
