Unlike many posters showing soldiers or battle scenes, this lithograph is entirely text, a list of practical ways civilians could support Britain's war effort in 1915. Issued by the Parliamentary War Savings Committee and printed in London by Roberts & Leete, it belongs to a campaign to draw small household savings into war finance through savings certificates and bonds. Its plain wording, numbered as poster no. 25 in the series, shows how officials relied on direct written appeals to reach a broad public.
