Lassie Salvation

EDITORS COMMENTS
is a powerful and evocative poster from 1918, showcasing the important role of Salvation Army women during wartime. The image captures a young woman in full Salvation Army uniform, beaming with pride as she carries a tray laden with doughnuts. In the foreground, a soldier, his uniform adorned with medals, gazes approvingly at the lassie, reaching out to take a doughnut from her tray. The Salvation Army, an international Christian organization, played a significant role during World War I by providing essential services to soldiers and civilians alike. The Salvation Army's "Lassies," as they were called, served as canteen workers, nurses, and morale boosters. They prepared and distributed food, including the iconic doughnuts, to soldiers on the front lines and in hospitals. This poster, with its playful and endearing title, "keep her on the job," underscores the importance of the Salvation Army's efforts during the war. The image of the soldier reaching out for a doughnut from the tray not only highlights the appreciation and gratitude of the soldiers but also symbolizes the connection between the Salvation Army and the military. The poster's vibrant colors, bold typography, and clear composition make it a compelling and enduring representation of the spirit of service and camaraderie during a time of great need. The Salvation Army's legacy of providing essential services during times of crisis continues to this day, and this poster stands as a testament to the organization's commitment and the impact of its work.
