# 'Your courage, your cheerfulness, your resolution will bring us victory' (British Ministry of Information poster)

Gold capitals on red under a Tudor crown read 'Your courage, your cheerfulness, your resolution will bring us victory', with 'YOUR' underlined each time. Three virtue words stand in for any plan, and the crown lends the state's authority to the claim.
