WW1 Propaganda Poster: Funny

I have posted about 20+ WW1 & WW2 posters on this blog, there are plenty more to find and view but they are all pretty much standard like the one above. The funny thing about this is that it states there is 'Room for you' but to me the train looks a little packed. Absolutely no chance others will be getting on that one!

WW1 Propaganda Poster: Tobacco & Jobs!


"Help her fill a pipe". Another mind boggling poster where the need for men at the front to have tobacco was a real priority. The nurse helping the poor wounded solider so he can relax with a pipe, genius.



This is a poster created at the end of WW1. It's again pretty shocking to us now but I bet in its day people wouldn't think anything wrong with it. Never employee Germans, do not buy anything remotely German looking!

WW1 Propaganda posters. Crusades and Eggs!

Really like this poster, pushing the image of the Crusades from 100's of years ago! Well in WW1 they still do use horses so its not too far from the truth right? Did America have a poster generation department where they would spend days thinking of the right themes to get those poor sods to sign up to?

Well just as you think you seen most WW1 themed posters I found this one where the War effort requested more eggs. Shiploads of Eggs sent by the Canadians to feed us British during the long war. Looking at the size of the Chicken in the poster I don't think we had  have much problem lol.

WW1 Propaganda Posters (Part2)

 Having now found a large collection of WW1 posters from around the world its time to start placing them up on the blog. Funny one the first, anti-conscription from Aussie. Maybe they knew what Gallipoli would be like?
 Very nice one above, they did like to use stereotypes back in the day! Joan of Arc used to buy war saving stamps.

This must have been a local Irish hero, slaying 10 Germans for the cause and others can be like him too. Did Michael O'Leary do the rounds at recruitment fairs for years to come? or did they send him back to the Somme?

WW2 & WW1 Propaganda Posters

Pretty standard WW2 poster, fighting in the Pacific meant alot of racial slurs on Asians and poster like this were common.

Looks appealing right? recruiting fellow Aussies ANZACs calls (Australian New Zealand Army Corps)  Gallipoli,Turkey 1915. If only they knew of the bumbling idiots that would be leading them into certain death there.

Strange WW1 Propaganda Posters

WW1 1916 Poster from London UK. For me this is a really strange poster, maybe nearly a 100 years later we see things differently now but the option to die away from home by a bullet it meant to encourage people to enlist into the War? Stopping air raids is a fine message to leave with people though!



Another WW1 poster, aimed at the troops either at home or away. Stay away from "Good time" girls, yes indeedy you have more important things to be doing.
