The poster reads from right to left, but I'm writing in the modern form of left to right:


九月十八日
November 18th


満洲事變勃發満一年
Manshū Jihen Boppatsu Man-ichi Nen
One full year after the Manchurian incident broke out


Old kanji are being used. Modern:
事変 Jihen / incident
勃発 Boppatsu / outbreak

There aren't signature over the poster!
Some one knows who made the drawings for the Heer?
May be that also the Japanese have artists that made posters!

Don't know why I was thinking 11th month ..

according to this pamphlet, the poster was put out by the Ministry of the Army.

Oops, here's the pamphlet.

Thank you very much for explanation Guy!
May be that the poster goes with the pamphlet inside!
For veterans. For hanging at home!

This same design is also found on postcards from WWII

The posters would have been printed up in color and hung -- probably in "Manshukuo" ... showing the Manchurians they were safe under Japanese protection ... and brothers working together.

Found more posters here.

I don't remember seeing original posters for sale when I was at the SOS last year, but it doesn't mean they weren't there. I imagine price would come down to condition and content.
