Marines follow a tank on the path to take back Cape Gloucester in Papua New Guinea from Japan in this American WWII poster by Master Sargeant Vic Donahue. 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: "Cape Gloucester - Driving toward Tokyo, the 1st Marine Division landed at Cape Gloucester, New Britain Island, on Dec. 26, 1943. Tank-led Leathernecks captured the main prize - - the airdome - - in five days. Talasea, last major objective, fell March 9th, and the Marines marched on!".

What People Are Saying...

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.
