Barr's Flag Boys

These unusual paper dolls are made of card.  Theres a small tab on their base which allows them to stand, upon which is printed Barr's Flag Boys, Copyright 1919 W J Barr, NYC.  They would have been made just after World War I.  Each soldier boy has a poem about the soldiers of his country.  Of particular interest to New Zealanders and Australians there is a poem about the Anzac boy in Gallipoli.  They measure approx 14 cm tall and I have 12 of them.  I'm not sure whether they were made as premiums for a product or just for a child to collect - if you know anything about them I'd be interested to hear from you.
