Description

A vertical propaganda poster features two New Zealand soldiers in profile, facing left, against a stylized background of coral pink sand dunes under a pale purple sky and ocean. Both men wear olive-green short-sleeved shirts and helmets with textured covers. The soldier in the foreground holds a bolt-action rifle across his chest with both hands, while the soldier behind him carries a machine gun under his arm. At the top of the poster, the words "NEW ZEALAND" are printed in a bold, light gray sans-serif font. In the bottom left corner, the words "ALLY DOWN UNDER" appear in black and dark green block letters against a pink san dune shape along the bottom. The artist's signature, "DUGO," is visible in shadow near the bottom right area of the illustration.
