An evocation of Czech nationalism: the poster shows the Knights of King Ottokar of Bohemia riding into combat against
the Imperial forces of Duke Rudolf I of Habsburg at the Battle of Marchfeld (26 August 1278). Czechoslovakia gained independence after the
break-up of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in 1918. | Publisher: | http://www.iwm.org.uk | Subjects: | emblems Animals WW1 Austro-Hungarian 5th War Loan Austria-Hungary 5th War Loan 1916 Home Front Austro-Hungarian Home Front 1914-1918 war loans / savings First World War equestrian civilian effort WW1 Austro-Hungarian Home Front | Source: | Imperial War Museum | Creator: | Svoboda, Hanu | Identifier: | http://www.iwm.org.uk/collections/item/o... | Go to resource |
