Item description from seller

Original vintage World War Two poster - What it takes to win / Ce qu'il faut pour vaincre - featuring a dramatic image of a soldier in military uniform running through a battlefield holding guns with soldiers and explosions behind him and helmets and barbed wire in the foreground, an extract in French from the citation awarding the Victoria Cross to Lieutenant-Colonel Merritt of the South Saskatchewan Regiment Dieppe on 19 August 1942 below - "When last seen, Colonel Merritt was collecting Bren and Thompson guns and preparing the position which successfully covered the re-embarkation." The Allied amphibious mission named Operation Jubilee or the Dieppe Raid on the German occupied port of Dieppe in northern France was a commando style raid predominantly led by the Canadian infantry under Charles Merritt (1908-2000) with British troops and American troops (participating in ground combat in France for the first time), supported by tanks put ashore from a naval force under the protection of Royal Air Force RAF fighters and parachute drops; the attack was unsuccessful due to the German infantry effort with the support of the Luftwaffe and Kriegsmarine that led to the allies quick retreat and a high casualty and prisoner of war rate (including Merritt who was wounded and taken as a prisoner of war). Published by the War Information Commission, Ottawa. Good condition, creasing, staining, tears. Size: 92x61cm.
