Description
Set of 2 original vintage Second World War posters depicting Indian Paratroopers - 2 recruitment posters showing troops parachuting out of planes with a soldier bearing a machine gun on the ground. The first Indian airborne formation was the British Indian Army's 50th Parachute Brigade, which was raised during World War II on 29 October 1941, initially consisting of 151 Parachute Battalion (consisting of British troops), 152 Parachute Battalion (consisting of Indian troops) and 153 Parachute Battalion (consisting of Gurkha troops) alongside other support units. Later in 1944, the brigade was expanded to form the 44th Indian Airborne Division as the original 9th Airborne Division was to be named because the 44th Armoured Division (whose services were no longer required in the Middle East theatre of war) was to be converted to an airborne unit. The two ad hoc brigades from the Chindit operations, 14th and the 77th, were included to form the division. Good condition, minor creasing, minor staining, small tears. Country of issue: UK, designer: Unknown, size (cm): 38x30, year of printing: 1940s.
