Description: Poster appealing for New Zealanders to contribute money towards the war effort - "Turn your savings, your spare shillings and pounds, into war materials and strike a mighty blow for victory". The text describes the plight of British people whose homes have been destroyed by Nazi bombs, and who spend nights in air-raid shelters, cannot access butter, and fear the sound of an aeroplane engine. The image shows a New Zealand Free Lance photograph of a weeping British mother with her two young children; they have just experienced the bombing of their city by a Nazi bomb. The text urges savings, in order to keep a similar situation from arising in New Zealand. Quantity: 1 colour photo-mechanical print(s). Physical Description: Photolithograph, 460 x 220 mm.

A photographer (might this be Trevor Lloyd?) crouches on the left taking pictures. Context: The cartoon shows a 1908 test game during the tour of New Zealand of a British team (comprising English and Welsh players). There were three tests: the All Blacks won 2 and one was drawn. Overall points were 64 for the All Blacks and 8 against. This cartoon celebrates the New Zealand victory in the third test at Auckland. New Zealand won 29-0.
