London, Published for the 18th Battery AIF by Raphael Tuck & Sons, [1918].

A large poster (760 × 558 mm), printed lithographically in four colours.

Some foxing and light discolouration to the top and bottom portions; a few light folds; minor chips and tiny closed tears to the edges; overall in very good condition.

Despite its title, the greater part of this fine display piece is given over to a nominal roll of the men who served with the 18th Battery, attractively laid out within five cartouches in the shape of large-calibre shells. The officers are listed above; the killed and wounded are listed below; Battle Honours and significant individual awards are listed on the left and right - and all of them in a wonderful array of scrolls and banners, some of them against a background of flowering gum branchlets.
