If he should fall, is your blood there to save him?" asks the slogan, and the question sits beside a soldier's figure in this color lithograph by the designer A. Games, who is better known as Abram Games. It was issued by His Majesty's Stationery Office in London sometime between 1940 and 1945, during the Second World War, when the British government needed a steady supply of donated blood for wounded servicemen. The poster appealed directly to civilians, linking the家 front to the hospital and asking ordinary people to give blood so that transfusions would be available for the men fighting overseas.
