What it is
A colour lithograph M. Leone Bracker drew in 1919 for the Victory Fund Campaign of the Presbyterian Church's New Era Movement, 76 by 49 cm.
Why it matters
The church raised its Victory Fund in 1919 on a double claim: its faith sustained the soldier, and its money supported the war-time agencies that helped him. Bracker drew a second sheet for the same campaign, Shall Chaos Triumph?
What to notice
A lone soldier on the battlefield, gazing up at a cross that glows in the sky.
A cross lit over the battlefield.
