A rare, privately printed Brangwyn poster to raise money for the Navy Relief Society. A poignant image of a sailor entering a life boat amidst the mayhem of a full-blown sea battle in which ships are sinking all around him. His last thoughts are for his "folks" back home. As he is about to give his all in the service of his fellow countrymen he hopes they in turn will give something to his survivors. Rawls p. 79.
