See Him Through! Help Us to Help the Boys
A Knights of Columbus secretary in uniform rests a hand on the back of a helmeted soldier walking toward shell bursts, under the headline 'See Him Through'. The text speaks as 'us' helping 'the boys' and links the donor to the soldier through the organisation's role as intermediary.
