Description

New Zealand copy of a British Second World War propaganda poster which was part of a series of similar posters with the same title. This poster depicts 5 British Soldiers manning a coastal artillery post looking out to sea. Another gun is visible in the background. The image takes up the majority of the poster with the title separate and positioned below, in blue. Both are set against a yellow background. Red text has been overprinted at the top of the image and above and below the original poster title text to promote a New Zealand National Savings Campaign.
