Getrou aan tradisie wees een van bulle [Loyal to tradition, be one of them]
Description
South African Second World War recruitment poster. The poster depicts a black and white photograph of a smiling woman with text running across the bottom quarter of the poster stating, "Loyal to tradition, be one of them". The woman has a set in front of a group of saluting women behind her. The monochrome photograph dominates the centre to top centre of the poster, and contrasts with the diagonal stripes of red and blue which are placed behind the woman's head.
