text: LIFE-BOAT DAY
FROM NEARLY EVERY HOME
Someone has gone to serve in the Navy or the Army.
To reach France, Egypt, India or Salonica, they have to risk their lives amongst the MINES AND ENEMY SUBMARINES.
Over 54,800 LIVES SAVED since 1824
DURING THE WAR over 3,000 lives have been rescued, of which more than 780 have been from Warships, Destroyers, Seaplanes, Mine-sweepers,
Transports, Hospital Ships, etc.
263 LIFE-BOATS
are ready DAY or NIGHT to answer the call of Sailors, Soldiers, or the Crews of Merchant Ships, upon whom we largely depend FOR OUR FOOD
SUPPLIES.
YOU cannot be a LIFE-BOATMAN but
YOU CAN help to save the Lives of your relatives or friends in Peril on the Sea.
21 Brave Life-Boatmen have lost their lives during the WAR.
THEY GAVE THEIR ALL. WHAT WILL YOU GIVE TO THE RED CROSS OF THE SEA?
1916 was a RECORD YEAR in Life-Saving - over 1,300 for BRITAIN and HER ALLIES.
