The sign, carried the caption, "Give. a Little and. Save a Life", and pictired.., a soldier': slurnp41, over the to of a trench, ° face down and arts outstretched.' The youngster after viewing the pic- ture climbed the lattice' work' of, the sign 'to a ledge .on which he could stand. He crept along the ledge and then reached -up .tt pat the hand of the 'soldier. ' Although_ the ' . fact • wasn't known,• its more than 1ike1- that this lad's daddy is overseas.
