EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful WWII poster from circa 1942, featuring a portrait of Sir Winston Churchill, serves as a poignant reminder of the collective spirit and resilience of the British people during the darkest days of the Second World War. The image is accompanied by a letter from the Prime Minister himself, urging the public to support the Warship Week Campaign and the National Savings Movement. Churchill's beaming smile and confident demeanor, captured in the portrait, conveys a sense of determination and hope, despite the challenges facing the nation. The peaked cap and red background add to the patriotic and authoritative tone of the poster. The Warship Week Campaign was a crucial part of the war effort, with the British government seeking to raise funds for the construction of new warships to bolster the Royal Navy. The National Savings Movement, which was established in 1916, played a vital role in encouraging individuals to save and invest their money, which was then used to finance the war effort. Churchill's letter, which is reproduced in the poster, emphasizes the importance of every penny saved and invested, no matter how small, in the fight against the Axis powers. He writes, "Every pound you save and invest in War Bonds is a pound that helps to build a ship, a ship that will carry our boys to victory." This poster is a testament to the extraordinary leadership and unity shown by the British people during the war, and serves as a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made during this pivotal period in history.
