French Poster. Unis Pour La Liberation

[HistoryMan]

Guys
Picked this up this week
Nice poster , 74cm x 48cm

I have tried to find information regarding the artist but to no avail
Only information I can find is that it was printed in the UK after the D-Day landings
Any input would be appreciated

Cheers

I found the second on one site, but in reprint...

[HistoryMan]

Any idea what the code means on the bottom of the poster ?

Cheers

From the IWM site

GPD/445/5 This poster was printed in Great Britain for distribution in France during the D-Day landings of 1944

Here is a picture of the original artwork held at the National Archives at Kew

Notice the correction outlined to the US Soldiers helmet

I put it on a French forum, perhaps it was never used ! I don't remember pictures of it on a French wall.
