Tank Week was held in Sydney from the 3rd April to the 10th April 1918, and was conducted to support the Sixth War Loan. Many countries involved in the war realised that they would need more funds to resource their campaigns, and accordingly developed war loan programs. These programs encouraged the population to purchase government war bonds which would be repaid with interest, and assist the war effort. The loan subscriptions were extremely successful in Australia, often exceeding the targeted amount. As the conflict drew to a close, the posters promised that the purchase of bonds would bring a speedy resolution to the war.
