- 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.
