St John Ambulance – always there when needed!
This is one poster in a series of eight, all of which depict volunteers in action attending real incidents. This poster shows the Harrow and Wealdstone railway disaster, with four volunteers carrying a person on a stretcher. Divisions could submit their photos to be used in poster campaigns. Then, at a cost of 2p or 5p each, depending on size, they would display them throughout the country to aid fundraising and recruitment, and raise awareness for St John Ambulance.
