Marines meet with local children in Guam in this American WWII poster by Sargeant J.R. McDermott. It is part of a 1945 enlistment campaign by the U.S. Marine Corps, which depicted different scenes of battle. Each poster in the series features art by an active servicemember.

The text of this poster reads: "Guam - Marines of the Third Marine Division and the First Marine Provisional Brigade made the initial assaults of a brilliant 21-day campaign, beginning July 20, 1944, in which Guam was retaken from a strong Japanese garrison. The natives of Guam - - first pre-war American territory in the Pacfic to be liberated - - were jubilant".

  • If there's anything you want to know about posters, vintage or more modern, there's nothing Mr Ross doesn't know. His open and friendly manner helps one to choose the most suitable material whether for decoration, investment or whatever... I can't recommend him highly enough.

  • Just wanted to say thanks for the poster. You sent it on Thursday and it was delivered the following Monday (nearly quicker than it took us to get home) to our house in Perth, Australia. We have just had it framed. We love it; it goes perfectly with the room.

  • The Ross Gallery has the best selection of vintage posters I have ever seen. Seriously, if you are in the market, they are the people. And, they know everything there is to know about the posters' provenance.
