This Australian text-based Second World War poster was created by General Motors Holden (GMH) in 1941 and was likely designed to hand in one of their factories across Australia. During the Second World War, GMH re-tooled and created trucks, engines, and other heavy machinery to aid the war effort. This poster would have been used to help motivate factory workers and emphasises the importance of their work. The poster states that "It's OUR WAR", with emphasis on the fact that everyone is doing their own little bit towards the greater war effort. This is furthered by stating that "Hitler's out to crush us". The poster then highlights that the 'boys' (soldiers) are in need of guns munitions, and equipment - hence it is through the important work of the factory workers that they are provided with what they need.
