A new museum exhibit offers everyone from history buffs to military veterans a glimpse of the past — specifically, the stories of World War I soldiers, told through posters 100 years after the Armistice, Fox News reports.
The National World War I Museum and Memorial in Kansas City, Missouri, has posters from the Great War on display to honor the 116,000 Americans who died in combat, and the millions more who served — as well as a historical nod to other cultures involved in the bloody conflict.
“Posters are one of the best historical objects to tell the story of any time period,” Jonathan Casey, director of archives in the Museum’s Edward Jones Research Center, told Fox News. The museum houses more than 1,200 war-time posters, Casey told the network, and said that the collection includes posters from a host of other countries as well, including Germany, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and Russia.
“Each one represents its own culture,” Casey said.
Take a look at a few of them below.
