About the Item

Original vintage World War Two poster - Your Tanks In Action Thank you Basutoland - featuring four captioned military illustrations of British tanks used to defeat the Axis powers during the Western Desert Campaign / North Africa Campaign (the Egypt Libya Desert War 1940-1943), with thanks to the British Crown Colony of Basutoland (1884-1966; the Kingdom of Lesotho). The captions read - Generous contributions from Basutoland have helped to buy British tanks. An important attack is planned against an enemy post in the Western Desert. Tanks are prepared for battle and infantrymen check over their equipment. The signal for attack is given and the British tanks advance. With infantrymen following hard behind, the tanks move remorselessly across the desert, scorning enemy fire. Their own guns blaze at the enemy post. German resistance is overcome and many Axis prisoners are taken. The Swastika flag is hauled down and the Union Jack takes its place. - with the slogan and rest of the text below - Other war gifts from Basutoland include contributions to His Majesty's Government for the prosecution of the war, part of which was used to form the Basutoland squadron of Spitfires, contributions for Air Raid Relief, British Red Cross Society, mobile canteens, Aid to Russia and many other funds. Printed by Hubners Ltd. Good condition, folds, creasing, minor staining.
