This poster, numbered 10 in its series, carries a blunt call to "Invest To-day" and directs readers to apply at the nearest post office or printer. Its catalog subjects pair war finance with explosions, a reminder that the fighting that drove the borrowing was also the source of the damage it was meant to pay for. Britain financed much of its First World War effort by borrowing from its own citizens, and campaigns like this one urged ordinary people to lend the government their savings through war loans and savings schemes. The poster was printed by Sir Joseph Causton & Sons in London, a firm known for government and commercial printing of the period.
