Billy Hughes posters

As Australia’s prime minister for most of the First World War, Billy Hughes steered the nation through the horrors of the war and the debates of the peace settlement. Nothing was more divisive than conscription during this period—argument over conscription split the Labor Party in 1916.

Our Billy Hughes website includes a poster builder which lets you explore the issue of conscription, get in touch with your creative side and send the results to us. The best ones will be added to this set and will also appear on the Billy Hughes website.
