To Us from Airborne... We Made
Description
British Second World War poster addressed to the us [factory workers and anyone else involved in the production of airborne equipment - and the intended audience] to thank them for all of their efforts in the producing items relating to the war effort. At the lower left of the poster under the word 'we made' is room for the factory that hung this poster to name the items that they produced that specifically assisted the airborne soldiers.
The maroon of the poster is the same colour as the berets worn by British paratroopers (paras) still to this day.
