"MODERN ARMY" POSTERS

A 1930s recruiting poster for the British Army: 

Austin 7 car, Vickers light tank, Scout carrier, motorcycle,
fully tracked artillery, 3.7in AA gun...see a 28mm variant HERE

The 1930's advertising campaign replaced (we think) this earlier version, with its emphasis on Empire:


which, of course, gave birth to the famous parody/pacifist slogan/joke: "Join the Army, see the world, meet interesting people - and kill them...."
