The King of the Claudes Kick-off!

Hello everyone! We're so excited to begin our tournament which will start at 7 PM EST. Again, we're planning on scheduling one poll a day, each one lasting one week and having five polls a week. You can submit propaganda via our ask box or by tagging us to reblog it @kingoftheclaudes. Match-ups can be found via our pinned post and that will update with each new poll. Thank you all so much for sending in propaganda so far and we hope everyone has fun!

And, on a related note...

Happy Birthday Claude Rains!

🇬🇧 William Claude Rains took a hiatus from acting when WW1 broke out and volunteered to serve in the London Scottish Regiment. In November of 1916, he was wounded in a gas attack at Vimy. He lost 90% of vision in his right eye and suffered vocal cord damage. He never returned to combat, but continued to serve with the Bedfordshire Regiment. By the end of the war, he had risen to the rank of captain.
