For Freedom
Wide poster of two sailors in profile facing each other, a U.S. Navy rating on the left and a Royal Navy rating on the right, with a line of warships on the horizon between them. A U.S. flag and a Union Jack sit under them beside the line '..For FREEDOM'. The tell is the glittering generality 'freedom', tied by the paired flags and uniforms to the Anglo-American partnership.
