United Nations Fight for Freedom : colored, white and Chinese Boy Scouts in front of Capitol, They help out by delivering poster to help the war effort (LOC)

  Hmm...not sure I understand the date. According to several sources, this poster wasn't released until 1942, and the BSA campaign didn't begin until 1942, as well. Besides, it doesn't make sense to have a US flag on a war poster until after December of 41 anyway, I'm thinking. Pretty sure the date is wrong on this one.

• The Library of Congress said:

  Thanks! For now, we’re gathering the suggestions and corrections, but holding off on making changes until more comments come in.

• Molly said:

  They're so handsome. :)

  1943. The top four flags, USA, GB, USSR and ROC, being positioned together corresponds with the meetings between Roosevelt, Stalin, Churchill, and Chiang-Kai-Shek in 1943.

• kaiserbuns said:

  I have to agree with lpress and mrpibb; I don't think the United States would be so firmly represented on a war poster in 1941. The phrase "UNITED NATIONS" perplexes me; the official United Nations wasn't formed until 1945, but this usage of the phrase seems to be more of an informal description of a confederation of nations with similar goals, not an official UN poster; if I'm wrong, then the photo would have to date from 1945, I would say.

  At the Gettysburg Great Reunion in 1913. The Boy Scouts served as aids to the aged Civil War veterans. A great uncle who was one of those young Scouts recalled he'd never seen so many old men missing arms and legs.
