The war effort back home

Everyone was asked to help win the war, by making extra efforts and working harder on the 'home front'. Children saved pennies, collected scrap metal and food waste, and knitted woolly hats for soldiers.

 

Posters showed people how to put on a gas mask and how to plant vegetables. A government information campaign told people what to do - and what not to do. As well as making fun of the enemy to keep spirits high!

In class we have been trying to create some of these poster campaigns using the iPads and the app Comic Life. Please take a look at some of our posters below:
