These two British Empire posters demonstrate the global nature of the First World War.

In Northfield's poster, an Australian soldier looks out over an Australian landscape, and in F Boys' poster, an Indian soldier stands in front of a landscape including a river, palm trees and the rising sun.

The images are specifically tailored to each country: the soldiers are shown protecting their own land, for themselves and their families, not for an abstract ideal of Empire.
