You love them, fight for them! Accession Number: ARTV04314

Description

Australian Commonwealth Military Forces Second World War recruitment poster. The image of a woman holding her baby wrapped in a pink blanket dominates the majority of the poster. The image is highlighted in white which creates a glow around the figures. The main title and text message frame the image at the top, curved to match contours of the mother's head, and bottom. The poster conflates notions of national loyalty and familial loyalty through military service.
