Description
This Australian Second World War poster was created by General Motors Holden (GMH), likely for display in one of their Australian factories.
The poster conveys a message from J.R. Holden, the managing director of General Motors Holden thanking his employees for their hard work during 1942, expressing his brief views on the war, and that there is still plenty of work to go. He concludes by wishing employees a happy Christmas and good wishes for the upcoming 1943.
During the Second World War, GMH re-tooled and produced vehicle components, field guns, aircraft, and engines to assist with the war effort.
