Its all too easy to mend a toy
Part of St John Ambulance's core activity is to provide training to volunteers and the public on administering first aid to children. This poster spotlights this, with its drawing of a child wearing an eye patch with an arm in a sling and a leg in a cast. The child holds hands with a teddy bear with the same bandages. There is a poem below the image, encouraging people to learn first aid.
