Alhambra Fund Leicester Matinee
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative poster marks the Grand Matinee performance in honor of the National Fund for the Welsh Troops, held on St. David's Day, March 1st, 1915, at the prestigious Alhambra Theatre in Leicester Square, London. The image on the poster depicts a brave Welsh soldier, with his back to the viewer, gazing intently at the horizon. The sun or perhaps an explosion on the distant horizon casts a warm, golden light upon him, symbolizing hope and determination in the face of adversity. The title "Grand Matinee, St. David" is inscribed above the soldier, while the National Fund for the Welsh Troops logo and the Alhambra Theatre's name are prominently displayed below. This poignant poster served as a call to action for Londoners to support the Welsh soldiers during World War I by attending the matinee performance and contributing to the fund. The event not only provided entertainment but also raised essential funds for the welfare of the Welsh troops, demonstrating the unity and compassion of the British people during a time of great need.
