This British poster, from late 1940 or early 1941, shows a group of soldiers from different Commonwealth nations marching together. While ‘strength through unity’ was a common theme of Allied posters during the war, the racial hierarchy was evidently not to be forgotten.

This and other promotional posters foregrounding groups of people inspired the design for the poster titled Strikethrough. The image of the gathering in the poster Strikethrough comes from my painting Meet (2021).
