THEIR SHIP HAD BEEN SUNK BY A GERMAN RAIDER IN THE ATLANTIC . . . THERE WERE 82 MEN CROWDED INTO A BOAT BUILT TO HOLD 50 . . . ONE OF THE BOATS FINALLY REACHED SÃO LUIZ, BRAZIL, WHERE THE MEN FELL EXHAUSTED ON THE BEACH . . . . . GIVE US THE SHIPS WE'LL DELIVER THE GOODS! BUILDING SHIPS LIKE THIS WILL MAKE YOU AND THE NAVY AN UNBEATABLE TEAM The men of the Royal Navy and Merchant Navy ask you to give every ounce of effort to speed up production. Give them the weapons to fight back at the Germans and protect the women and children of Britain from what has happened in the countries now occupied by the enemy. From America and our Dominions we are obtaining planes, war materials and vital foods. The Merchant Navy, convoyed by the Royal Navy, are maintaining our life line and with your help they will continue to keep this country supplied with the necessities of life and the weapons to beat Hitler and his gang. Every worker engaged on producing even the smallest nut or bolt needed to complete a ship is doing his bit to win this war. The navy is depending on you to replace the ships which are being lost. Production must be increased. There is no time to be lost. Every hour wasted is an hour gained by the Germans in their attempt to sweep us off the high seas and thus pave the way for an invasion of this island.

This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.

Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.
