New Zealand Apples - Patriotic Poster - circa 1930s

National Patriotic Apple Show 1918 Poster
Poster for National Patriotic Apple Show held in Auckland, May 1918.
You needed more than a case of apples to maintain your health on the battlefields of the Somme, Ypres, Verdun and the like. You were too worried about a fatal case of lead poisoning to give a fig (mixed metaphor) about an apple a day keeping the doctor away. Besides, a fresh apple was likely nowhere to be found.
