Quite an interesting collection, hadn't seen most of the foreign ones before. Found it funny that the one poster talking about submarines the girl is infatuated with his war patrol badge, and not the Silver Star right below it.

Some familiar ones, but really a cool collection. Really intense stuff indeed!

"Go on one patrol for us and the girls will swarm all over you. Go Navy!"

Or something like that.

Wow. Some of these are very dark given the popular tastes of the day. Great find, Vendor!

I think World War One had some of the most intense posters, things like "Destroy this mad brute!" and the poster of the drowned woman which was inspired by the Lusitania.
