Salute the Soldier war savings poster

[ynot]

Here’s a Salute the Soldier poster I’ve just picked up and it’s a pity I don’t have a wall to hang it on so it’ll have to stay up in the attic for the time being.

Salute the Soldier was, as far as I’ve found out, a nationwide event to raise money for the war effort during the first half of 1944, many events took place all over Britain, here are some details of just one of them Salute the Soldier where the Home Guard organised events such as a baby show and the Ladies Ankle Competition.

Quite a few posters must have been produced and probably many individual programmes from the participating districts around the UK so it's not rare, but I like it.

Fantastic artwork, what a shame you can't hang it on the wall!
