EDITORS COMMENTS
This Italian patriotic card, dating back to the 1910s, features a dedicated soldier in full military regalia, kneeling before a bank teller and pointing to a pile of coins. The soldier's determined expression and the caption "Do your Duty, do your best!" emphasize the importance of personal financial contributions to aid the Italian war effort. During this period, Italy was involved in several conflicts, including the Italo-Turkish War (1911-1912) and the First World War (1915-1918). The Italian government and its citizens recognized the significant role that financial resources could play in supporting the military and ensuring the nation's success on the battlefield. The image of a soldier making a deposit into a savings scheme underscores the collective responsibility of every Italian citizen to contribute to the national cause. The card's message encourages individuals to do their part by setting aside their own resources, no matter how small, to support the war effort. The powerful symbolism of the soldier's gesture, combined with the simple yet impactful caption, served as a call to action for Italians to unite and contribute to the national cause. This poignant card is a testament to the enduring spirit of patriotism and the belief that every individual's effort, no matter how small, could make a significant difference in the outcome of the war.
