MEN of VALOR - They fight for you

"Men of Valor - They fight for you."  This was a series of posters issued by the Wartime Information Board, Ottawa.  These posters highlight the actions of Canadians that go above and beyond the call of duty, earning the individuals portrayed a DSO or a VC.  I am not sure how many there are in total, but there are five included in this collection.   The artist is Hubert Rogers, and all the posters were issued by the Wartime Information Board, Ottawa.  Each poster is 36" x 24".
