The inter-war period reveals yet another facet propaganda through a British Military Poster. It reflects resilience amidst uncertainty while emphasizing unity as soldiers stand shoulder-to-shoulder against adversity. Perhaps one of the most iconic images associated with recruitment is Lord Kitchener pointing directly at you alongside his famous slogan "Your Country Needs You. " This timeless message from World War I resonated deeply within every citizen's heart, igniting a sense of duty that transcended borders. As war raged on during 1940, "Deserve Victory" became more than just words; it embodied an entire nation's determination to overcome challenges together.
