Save Serbia our ally: Serbian Relief Committee of America poster
A crayon lithograph shows a column of Serbian refugee women and old men behind two soldiers, one in a French kepi with a comradely hand on the shoulder of a bearded Serbian soldier, above the words 'Save Serbia our ally'. The Allied uniform, the shared gesture and the word 'ally' carry existing Allied loyalty over to a fundraising appeal for a small country's civilians.
