Description
British First World War war poster depicting a British soldier stabbing a German soldier with a bayonet while many other soldiers attack in the background. Frank Brangwyn (1867-1956) was not an official war artist, although he produced over 80 poster designs during the first World War. A large proportion of Brangwyn's work during this period was given free of charge to charitable groups, for example the Red Cross, National Institute for the Blind, and Belgian and Allied Aid League. Brangwyn also designed six recruiting posters for the 'Daily Chronicle'. This poster was designed by Brangwyn for the National War Savings Committee, published in 1918.
