EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative wartime poster from the 1940s, now available as a print, encourages the public to make a vital contribution to the war effort through saving with the Post Office Savings Bank. The image features a determined soldier, dressed in his khaki uniform and aiming a gun, with the caption "Are You Doing Your Bit for Defence?" above him. The poster emphasizes the importance of every penny saved, stating "Every Pound Saved is a Pound Earned for Defence." The use of the soldier and weapon is a powerful reminder of the ongoing conflict and the need for financial support to fund military operations during World War II. The poster's design is simple yet effective, with a clear call to action to "Open an Account Today" and "Save for Defence." This iconic image not only serves as a historical record of the financial support required during wartime but also as a poignant reminder of the collective effort and sacrifice required during times of crisis. The 1940s were a decade marked by significant change and adversity, and this poster is a testament to the resilience and determination of the British people during that period.
