For Honour’s Sake – The Scottish War Savings Poster RE826899

🏇 “For Honour’s Sake” – The Scottish War Savings Poster (c. 1917)

A Vintage Reproduction from the Scottish War Savings Committee, Edinburgh

🎨 Visual Description – A Call to Arms in Heraldic Splendour

In this rousing and romantic image, a medieval Scottish knight gallops forth into battle atop a powerful warhorse, the very picture of noble resolve. Cloaked in a sweeping tartan-trimmed barding of scarlet, gold, and black, his steed thunders through a sky of lilac clouds and pale yellow winds—an atmosphere charged with destiny.

The knight himself, clad in shining plate armour, bears a shield emblazoned with the red lion rampant—Scotland’s proudest heraldic symbol—and a banner trailing boldly behind him reads:

"For Honour’s Sake"

His helmet plume is a burst of crimson, and his sword, blazing red, is poised in readiness. A smaller figure of a white unicorn surmounts the committee’s official seal, placed at the top left—a subtle nod to the Scottish coat of arms.

Above him, in powerful block letters:

“OUR CAUSE IS JUST”

And at the bottom, a pragmatic, triple-action call to duty:

"Join a War Savings Association · Buy War Savings Certificates · Go to a Bank or Post Office Today"

It’s a campaign poster, yes—but one drawn not from modern warfare, but from the soul of ancient chivalry, framing economic support as an act of gallant national honour.
