Fascinating Public Health Posters From World War II

World War II public health posters were a powerful tool used by governments to promote health and safety during the war. These posters often featured bold graphics and clear, concise messages aimed at educating the public about hygiene, disease prevention, and the importance of supporting the war effort.

The posters encouraged people to adopt healthy behaviors, such as washing hands, avoiding disease transmission, and participating in wartime nutrition programs. Some posters also urged citizens to conserve resources, prevent accidents, and maintain morale on the home front.

These posters are part of a series created by the U.S. Public Health Service during WWII, at a time when no man’s health could be wasted on anything but the war effort. All feature the various ways to help ‘keep him on the job’.
