Australian, New Zealand, World War I Slogans

I've gotten interested in World War 1 machine slogans from Australia and New Zealand. These are slogans that have such wording as "HELP REPATRIATION / BUY WAR SAVING CERTIFICATES", "INVEST IN THE 7TH WAR LOAN", "HELP TO WIN THE WAR / BUY WAR SAVINGS CERTIFICATES, ELIGIBLES ENLIST" & "RETURNED SOLDIERS WANT WORK HELP THEM".

Can anyone point me to relevant literature about this type of material? thanks in advance

For Australian WWI slogans you should check out the following books, all appearing in the APRL Library catalogue:

Australian slogan cancellations 1917-1988, v.1 by R.C. Occleshaw (1989)
Commonwealth of Australia slogan cancellations 1918-1960, by James Lessig (1974)

For New Zealand slogans try this book, also in the ARPL Library catalogue:

New Zealand postal slogans, by R.M. Startup (1975)

Thanks, really appreciate the responses. I have information about US, Canada, UK, and now Australia and New Zealand. Any one know of other countries that used this type of propaganda machine slogans during WWI? Especially non-English speaking countries.

You can see 6 postal slogans from the Philippines here (pages 2 and 8):

Thanks, I already had that pdf from years ago and forgot about it. Back in the 70s and 80s I think I belonged to the IPPS and the Possessions Society also.

Just to clarify: the slogans Rod showed were used in Western Australia, but they were also used elsewhere in the Commonwealth.

Here is the ELIGIBLES ENLIST slogan used in Melbourne:



and the BRITISH EMPIRE EXHIBITION slogan used in Sydney



(And for any Australian specialists watching: Yes, I know about the George V ½d.)
