About the Item

An original poster made in 1942, in the middle of the World War when France was partly occupied. The war effort had to be supported and all the communication levers were used. On this sublime poster calling on French citizens to join the navy, we see a naval officer posing proudly, looking away, sure of himself. On his hat is written "Richelieu" which was a battleship of the French Navy. In capital letters is written "For France... Be a sailor".

Located in PARIS, FR

Indeed, due to the ever-increasing need for men in the army, the mines, industry and agriculture lacked the manpower to support the war effort. As a prime target for this search, Vichy France...
