Minor occasional edge tears, still very attractive printed, 1945, printed on both sides. the front has a dramatic image of an American soldier in close battle with a Japanese soldier, “Two down .. One to go” with text describing the defeat of the European axis nations. The reverse, shows a map of Asia with six bullet descriptions. From 1942-46, the U.S. Army published "newsmaps" to keep American troops updated on the war. These weekly posters were distributed and posted in every American installation in the world and were intentionally more visual than descriptive to help engage and motivate personnel.
