Canadian First World War poster issued by the Government to promote the sale of Victory Bonds to finance the war effort. As in other Commonwealth countries Canadian Victory bonds were loans offered by the Government which matured with interest after 5, 10 or 20 years. In Canada there were 5 different Victory loan campaigns between 1915 and 1919 each with its own supporting poster campaign co-ordinated by the Victory Loan Dominion Publicity Committee. It wasn't until the fourth campaign in 1917 that the term Victory Loan was used. This poster relates to the second Victory Loan campaign of 1918. Its central image is a Victory Loan Flag. These flags were designed to reward those communities that made significant contributions to the Victory Bond campaigns. The population of a city, town or district must have purchased a certain value in Victory Bonds and upon reaching or exceeding that target the citizens were rewarded with the presentation of a Victory Loan Honour Flag. The flags were awarded by the Governor General the Duke of Devonshire (1916 - 1921).
