The title, "Your money or his life," turns a familiar holdup phrase into an appeal for the Red Cross war fund during its June 18 to 25 drive. The poster was issued by the Committee on Public Safety of the State of New Hampshire, one of the state bodies that organized home-front campaigns during the First World War. Red Cross appeals of this period tied donations to the care of wounded and sick soldiers, and the print's subject headings point to casualties and military medicine. Its blunt wording shows how wartime fundraising borrowed from everyday speech and fear.
