Description
This text-only British Second World War poster quotes a speech given by British Prime Minister Sir Winston Churchill at the Free Trade Hall in Manchester on 29 January 1940. The phrase "Let us go forward together" was one of Churchill's most well-know catchphrases. This was the tenth occasion that he used the phrase in an offical speech.
The message enshrined in the poster is that of fighting as hard and as long as required to reach victory against the Axis powers. The speech, and indeed the poster, emphasises many of the important aspects of fighting the war, and the unity of the British Empire in fighting together to support each other.
This poster would have been displayed to remind Britons, or indeed other members of the British Empire of the unity and resign that the people of Britain had to defeat the Axis powers.
