"Let Us Go Forward Together" (Churchill photograph poster)
A cut-out photograph of Winston Churchill in a hat and tweed overcoat fills the poster, set against RAF fighters in formation and tanks firing. The slogan 'Let us go forward together' is a virtue-word appeal to unity (glittering generalities), and the aircraft and tanks behind the leader attach the armed forces' strength to his image (transfer).
