Produce for Victory! Australia salutes you
Colour photograph of a soldier in a netted helmet with a light machine gun over his shoulder against desert and sky, above a quotation in the voice of Australia: 'Australia salutes you! Together, the United Nations will destroy the gangsters who want to rule the world.' The enemy is labelled 'gangsters' (name-calling) in a testimonial from an ally.
