Halfsheet, "More Ships—Come on! War Savings are Warships"
is a vintage British propaganda poster from World War II. It was created to encourage citizens to contribute to the war effort by purchasing savings stamps and bonds. The poster features a British bulldog, a national symbol, wearing a Royal Navy sailor cap from HMS Victory. The message promotes the idea that by saving money, the public is directly helping to build more ships for the navy. The poster was issued by the National Savings Committee, the Scottish Savings Committee, and the Ulster Savings Committee.
This poster is an example of the War Savings Campaign, which was launched to mobilize civilian savings to support the war. People could buy savings stamps and bonds, which were guaranteed to give a good rate of return after the war |
