ASHDENE Mug Classic Wartime Servicemen.

ASHDENE fine bone china mug in the Classic Wartime Servicemen pattern commemorates the Second World War.

The Classic Wartime Collection has been created by ASHDENE in collaboration with the Australian War Memorial.

Throughout Australia’s military history, recruitment posters have been used to persuade men and women to join one of the wartime services. Heroic, colourful images and messages have been successful in influencing Australian Society in times of war. The imagery and the wide range of occupations make the posters all encompassing, implying that there is a job for every Australian man and woman. During wartime citizens would rally for the cause and take up occupations for the good of the country.

This recruiting poster issued by the Department of Defence shows a sailor, a soldier and an airman marching together. The words 'the services offer you travel, comradeship, proud careers' surround the figures.

This large mug is perfect for breakfast in bed or anytime you want a great cup of tea or coffee.

Gift boxed to make the Ideal gift for collectors of vintage images from the Second World War; service men and women, their friends and families. A great gift for Mother
