On Her their Lives Depend
On a recent visit to the Imperial War Museum in Manchester I cam across this poster. My paternal grandmother worked in a munitions factory during the First World War. I found this poster very moving. It was a horrid, dangerous job.

Really neat layout. I love the dull muted colors but the light on the poster really pops!

what a wonderful tribute to the women who did these jobs. They seem to get little thanks and if it hadn't been for them the war would have been a different story :)
Love your choice of colours and interesting BG paper :)

Great work. I like the way your layout makes the poster the centre of attention. Love the background paper and the muted colours that gives it a down to earth, serious feel.

This is such a wonderful tribute to the women who worked in the factories during WWI and WWII as well. It was a dangerous job and our women showed that they were indeed made of sterner stuff than men thought they were.

What a great job you did on this unique layout! It looks so real, it seems I can feel the texture of the background and the zipper.

What a perfect match between your photo and the LO.
