"Join the Royal Artillery and be a part of history in the making. This recruitment poster calls upon brave individuals to serve their country with honor and skill. From Winston Churchill, who fearlessly wields a sub-machine gun, to the introduction of the powerful British Sten gun by G. H. Davis, our arsenal is constantly evolving to ensure victory. The Willys Jeep stands as a symbol of mobility and efficiency, providing essential support on the battlefield. Alongside it, the mighty British 25-pounder field gun by G. H. Davis showcases our commitment to superior firepower. In America's skies soars the B-17 Bomber Aircraft, a testament to both engineering prowess and strategic might. Its cockpit in Salinas, California serves as a reminder of our strong alliance with the United States. Winston Churchill himself embodies resilience and determination as he leads his nation through turbulent times. The Hawker Hurricane Mk 2D exemplifies British ingenuity in aerial combat. Witnessing British guns dash through French towns demonstrates our unwavering dedication to liberating Europe from tyranny during World War II. Meanwhile, at The Interport Field Gun Competition - Royal Navy showcases not only strength but also camaraderie among service members. Nelson's Flagship Foudroyant proudly flies its colors in Blackpool, Lancashire – an enduring symbol of naval power that has safeguarded Britain's shores for centuries. A poignant painting by Hs Power transports us back to Ypres during World War I; it depicts artillery and horses amidst unimaginable chaos – reminding us of sacrifices made for freedom. " Note.
