The American Friends Help the Work of Building Society
A horizontal photo-sheet (code SP-1016) is headed 'The American friends help the work of building society' and shows three photographs captioned 'They help rebuild homes', 'Medical aid' and 'Supplying food and goods to places in want'. One photograph shows a U.S. Army medical officer examining a child; another a soldier greeting a man beside a hut frame; a third a sack carried off a river barge. The sheet closes with an appeal to cooperate 'closely with them', pairing help given with a request for cooperation in return.
