Lets do some more posters!
These I just picked up from fellow WAF member LennyW.
They are official "War Office" (in modern speak DoD) sanctioned US Army campaign posters (24X20 inches) from 1950,1953 and 1954
and intended for display at military installations, to honor their service and accomplishments.
A total of 4 shown, (3X WW2 and 1 Korea) but obviously the series is a lot larger! (many battles/campaigns to commemorate!)
So published by the military 5-8 years after ww2, (Korean war era almost 60yrs old).
Priced back than @ 20 cents each!! (You could have snapped up the whole series for next to nothing in modern money!)Last edited by NickG; 01-05-2011, 05:36 PM.Comment
