EDITORS COMMENTS
This vivid and striking color lithograph, titled "Your Release can be delayed with VD," is a British Army anti-venereal disease medical information poster from 1944. The poster, which warns of the possible consequences of contracting venereal diseases (VD or STDs), was specifically aimed at British troops on active service in Italy during World War Two. The image features a civilian man wearing a hat, gloves, and carrying a walking stick, set against the background of a demobilisation calendar. The caption above the image reads, "Your Release can be delayed with VD," emphasizing the potential impact of these diseases on soldiers' discharge from military service. During World War Two, the British military recognized the importance of addressing the health and wellbeing of its troops, particularly in the context of the high incidence of sexually transmitted diseases. This poster, designed by 2nd Lieutenant Stacey Hopper, was one of many efforts to educate soldiers about the risks and consequences of VD. The poster's bold design and graphic imagery were intended to grab soldiers' attention and encourage them to take precautions to protect their health. The poster's message remains relevant today, as sexually transmitted diseases continue to be a significant public health concern. This historical artifact serves as a reminder of the importance of sexual health education and the potential consequences of neglecting one's health. The poster is a valuable addition to any collection of World War Two memorabilia or historical medical artifacts.
