Serve as a soldier: vote as a citizen
Description
This British poster was created for the 1945 British General Election. The poster reminds soldiers that they are not merely soldiers, but also citizens and as such have a right to vote. The poster depicts a hand holding a pencil in the lower section, with the pencil extending into a silhouette of Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament - quintessential symbols of both Britain and British democracy.
