THE NEED CROWS
AS VICTORY NEARS
SW/000/000 needed NOW!
This is the year of supreme effort, the year Red
Cross will be needed as never before. And as our
all-out victory drive gains momentum, as casualty
lists mount, as the horrors of war spread wider
and sink deeper, this need will grow.
We must see them through: the fighting men on
every front, the gallantMerchan t Navy, the wound-
ed and maimed in British and Canadian hospitals,
Prisoners of War, the homeless war orphans of
Britain and the suffering millions of Europe.
Only the Red Cross meets this call for vital life
saving food for Prisoners of War parcels,medicines,
comforts, blood serum and nursing that spell
survival for so many. There is no one else to do
the job.
That is why we cannot fail: why we ask
you to open your hearts and purses,
giving to the limit of your ability.
Remember, Victory will not be cheap;
the real need lies ahead.
