It might be you! Caring for evacuees is a national service
Description
British Second World War poster issued by the Ministry of Health. The poster reminds the viewer that caring for refugees is a national service and makes an association between the charitable act on the home front and military service on the front line. The poster depicts a destitute family (mother and two small children) wandering along a ruined street, evicted from their home by the Blitz. The image is in black and white and framed top and bottom by white text all are set against a blue background.
