AWM ARTV05498

A First World War illustrated poster depicting male soldiers in uniform.

The Snapshots From Home league helped families to send images of themselves and their houses to soldiers, combating 'the invisible enemy of men at the front ... heart-hunger, loneliness, isolation, homesickness'. Six thousand volunteers across Australia took 150,000 photographs, developed them, printed them, and mailed them to the front line. (Frederick Pegram, chromolithograph, 47 x 32 cm, AWM ARTV05498)
