War Poster Join Your Hospital WWII UK Home Front
Original vintage poster: Join the Staff of Your Own Hospital. For details apply to the Matron of your nearest hospital. Image of a hospital bed. Printed by HM Stationery Office by Fosh and Cross Ltd. World War II was a total war; homeland production became even more invaluable to both the Allied and Axis powers. Life on the home front during World War II was a significant part of the war effort for all participants and had a major impact on the outcome of the war. Governments became involved with new issues such as rationing, manpower allocation, home defense, evacuation in the face of air raids, and response to occupation by an enemy power. The morale and psychology of the people responded to leadership and propaganda. Typically women were mobilized to an unprecedented degree. Good condition, folds, backed on linen. The home front covers the activities of the civilians in a nation at war. Year of printing: 1940s, country of printing: UK, designer: Unknown, dimensions (cm): 76x50.5.
