Onward, the rallying cry of warriors throughout history. From the resolute words of "Onward Christian Soldier" to the powerful imagery of war posters urging soldiers to "Keep Attacking. - Shout this loudly. ", the call for perseverance and determination echoes through time. In a Vietnamese Patriotic Poster, we see the phrase "Onward to Victory, " a testament to unwavering patriotism and unyielding spirit. This sentiment is further reinforced by a WW2 1st day cover that boldly declares, "Onward. Onward. Victory or Death. " It encapsulates the indomitable will of those who fought for freedom during one of humanity's darkest hours. The Royal Air Force de Havilland Mosquito NF Mk. XV soars through the skies with its sleek design, embodying progress and advancement in times of conflict. Similarly, an illustration from The Courtship of Miles Standish depicts characters pushing forward despite obstacles, as they strive for love and happiness. Through adversity and struggle, individuals have always found strength within themselves. An engraving portrays a man persevering against all odds as he struggles onward with his feet and one hand – an inspiring symbol of resilience. During World War I, a vibrant colour lithograph urges citizens to contribute towards national defense: "On les aura. 2e Emprunt de la Defense Nationale. Souscrivez. " This plea serves as a reminder that victory requires collective effort. Even amidst chaos and destruction like in The London fireman's dog coloured engraving – where flames engulf buildings – hope prevails as firefighters press onward in their noble duty to protect lives and property. Uniforms worn by officers and privates alike reflect unity within military ranks; each soldier plays their part in moving forward together towards triumph. Meanwhile, at Croydon Airport stands Republic RC-1 Seabee assembly - an emblematic representation of progress in aviation technology enabling mankind's journey onward.
