'Help! Send Guns'

[RS Davis]

[glow=red,2,300]John Marshall Wrote:[/glow]Here, in bold capital print, emblazoned across the page, were the words "SEND A GUN TO DEFEND A BRITISH HOME." The appeal went on: "British civilians, faced with threat of invasion, desperately need arms for the defense of their homes." Appealed for were pistols, rifles, revolvers, shotguns and binoculars. In short, from Britain to America: "Help! Send any arms you can spare, because we haven't a prayer without them when and if we are invaded!"
