A Voice from Anzac
Description
Poster depicting two ghost like soldiers, seated at Anzac Cove, Gallipoli, their backs to the sea. The poster was reproduced as a souvenir in the 'Herald', Melbourne, on Anzac Day, 1927. Will Dyson was the first Australian official war artist to visit the front during the First World War, travelling to France in December 1916, remaining there until May 1917, making records of the Australian involvement in the war. He was formally appointed as an official war artist, attached to the AIF, in May 1917, working in France and London throughout the war. His commission was terminated in March 1920.
