Right Is Might
Army recruiting poster: a huge tank tread fills the left side with the words 'Right Is Might' set into its links, while three tanks fire across a plain below. A line at the foot calls men 18 to 19 to choose now and apply at any Army recruiting station. The slogan joins a moral claim to armoured force.
