# Treballadors U.G.T.: ha estat creat l'exèrcit del poble! (Catalan UGT poster, 1936)

Colour poster of a soldier in a brown tunic with a red star on the chest and a rifle across his body, looking up to a field of marching troops in grey behind him and tanks along the lower edge, with the headline 'Treballadors U.G.T.' and the lines 'ha estat creat l'exèrcit del poble! Tot per l'exèrcit regular que serà l'exèrcit de la victòria'. The tell: a single idealised soldier stands for a mass of marchers while the slogan names the army both 'of the people' and 'of victory', so loyalty to the new regular army is presented as the same thing as the cause.
