Description
Originally issued by Britain’s Ministry of Information during World War II, this striking recruitment poster calls on citizens to “Join the Royal Navy – Protect the Convoys.” It reflects the critical importance of escort crews during the Battle of the Atlantic, where Allied naval forces defended supply lines against relentless submarine threats.
The artwork depicts a Royal Navy destroyer charging through heavy seas, binoculars trained forward as smaller escort vessels follow behind. The dramatic composition, muted wartime palette, and bold typography embody the urgency and determination of Britain’s naval campaign.
Meticulously restored for modern printing, this poster preserves the character of the original — including subtle paper texture and period wear — while delivering crisp detail suitable for large-format display.
Perfect for historians, naval enthusiasts, and collectors of authentic World War II imagery.
