Description
This Australian Second World War poster features a sailor, soldier and airman cupped in a pair of hands.
With the text "IN YOUR HANDS / the health of our / fighting men depends / on sending them / wholesome canned food / LET'S KEEP IT CLEAN," the poster promotes cleanliness in the effort to provide soldiers "wholesome canned food". During the Second World War, one of the major roles that Australia played in the Allied war effort was providing food not just for the homefront, but also for Allied soldiers across the world.
