Thank you Baz for the link.

Enjoyed browsing those - particularly the Nash exhibition poster and the Austrian propaganda.

I really like the one with the library books ... I might have to see if I can find a reprint of that for my librarian sister.

Shame so many of the plates were missing from the book though

Indeed.

This poster lives on at http://www.naval-military-press.com/

Thanks for the link - pity about the missing images.

There was a discussion at http://1914-1918.invisionzone.com/forums/i...howtopic=112918

Here is the translation

Read (literally look or see)
Stand still
Listen

Our call has come from 6000 miles away.

Fellow South Africans come and help us. Lay down your newspapers and letters: stop criticizing the British Generals and scolding [more in the sense of abuse or calling names] the Government. Leave your easy chairs and join us with your rifles.

That's awesome Carl! I just found the poster for sale online ... excellent! It's even better that the doughboy in it is a U.S. Marine, seeing as how I'm the son of two Marines ...

.

glad its of interest.

found another copy from a different library, so there shouldnt be the missing plate problem, hopefully

Univeristy of Toronto copy

cheers

just checked this one out and......... some light fingered *********** has had plate 64, the library poster, out of this one amongst a few others.

Still should be able to use both copies to see what was there originally.
