Are My Civvies Ready?
Description
Following the cessation of hositilies, thousands of soldiers were to return home with the only clothes they owned being either at their familial home or military-issued clothing. As a result, there was a huge demand for civilian clothing (civvies). This poster promotes the drive in Britain to source and produce enough 'civvies' for those soldiers.
