Description
This Australian Second World War poster was created by the Department of War Organisation of Industry in 1943. The poster was aimed to stress the importance of maintaining radios to those on the home front. The poster is emphasising the importance of focussing all domestic output on the war effort. By creating radios to replace those broken on the home front, factories have less resources to supply those fighting. The poster then depicts an Australian soldier in the jungle talking on a radio.
