Description
Canadian. C. 1942. This poster stands as one of the most iconic Canadian wartime posters. Symbolizing Canada's commitment to defending Great Britain, a young soldier bravely charges into battle to the rallying cry, "Let's Go Canada!". This phrase resonated widely at the time, serving as a powerful recruitment tool. As perhaps the most impactful Canadian recruitment poster of World War Two, this quintessential image exemplifies Canada's enthusiastic response to defending her allies from hostile forces. Marked, "DPI", (Directorate of Public Information) in lower right.
