"New Zealand fights" is the whole appeal, backed by a soldier prone behind his machine gun. A.T. Peel designed it and the New Zealand Legation in Washington D.C. published it in 1942, one of a series made to establish New Zealand's presence in the Allied cause for American audiences. Te Papa Tongarewa, the national museum of New Zealand, holds a copy.
On the poster
A prone ANZAC soldier in khaki, with a "NEW ZEALAND" shoulder flash, leans into a bipod-mounted light machine gun against a flat cobalt blue ground. Orange skin tones and dark navy shadows reduce him to a man, a weapon and a steady aim. Two words of bold slab-serif type sit above the figure and one word below.
