Description
This Australian Second World War poster was created by General Motors Holden (GMH), likely for display in one of their Australian factories and was designed to boost the morale of munitions workers. The poster depicts an image of Australian soldiers superimposed into a drawing of two hands - literally showing the soldiers in the hands of the munitions workers. The poster then features text that stresses the importance of the work of munitions workers in providing supplies of guns, bombs and the like in order to support and protect the safety of the fighting men.
During the Second World War, GMH re-tooled and produced vehicle components, field guns, aircraft, and engines to assist with the war effort.
