WW1 Propaganda Posters: Thrift! & Uncle Sam

 

 I really love the word 'Thrift', its rare I hear it these days and for that reason this poster from WW1 is being placed up! Encouraging people to buy stamps for the cause in this poster.

You cannot beat an image of Sam with a bayonet. Are they explosions in the background? fireworks? Another poster around the time of the first world war, bringing out national pride in America and encourage people to help out whichever way they can.

No postings!?

Moving house means no internet for a while and time to post. It will be back to normal posts around the 10th of may. Delayed until late May, wp sky Broadband.

Canadian stretcher bearers in Flanders fields from 1915, around the time that army physician John McCrae wrote his now world famous poem In Flanders Fields.
