Description
Mulberry harbours were temporary harbours contructed for the Allied landings in Normany on D-Day. As soon as the beachheads were successfully held, construction began on these two harbours at Omaha (Mulberry A) and Gold (Mulberry B) Beaches, to provide suitable landing places for larger ships carrying heavy Allied machinery. Their utility rested in the fact that Axis powers would inevitably sabotage existing French harbours, thus frustrating Allied landing effort.
This poster promotes an exhibition created by the Ministry of Information, who created travelling exhibitions about many different aspects of the war ranging from the role of different Allied nations, to new and different technologies used in achieving objectives. This poster features the title of the exhibition in the upper left corner, with various text boxes featuring information on the exhibition, and at the bottom a blank space for details of where the exhibition was being held.
