DescriptionAdvertisement for Eagle & British Dominions Insurance Company . This is an advertisement for the 'War Life' policy offered by the Eagle & British Dominions Insurance Company. The advertisement is illustrated with sketches of a British army officer and a Royal Navy rating each saluting the British flag. The advertisement sets out the terms of the policy, and the text begins: 'Thousands of Employers are naturally exercised on the subject of additional provision for the dependents of those of their employees who, on Active Service, may lose their lives'. In this advertisement we are told: 'The usual conditions of War preclude protection under ordinary forms of Insurance'. Due to the inevitable huge increase in the mortality rate among younger men during wartime, insurance companies could not have afforded to pay all the claims made if deaths in miltary action were covered by standard policies. It became necessary, therefore, for companies to start offering special war policies, that would provide at least a little additional support for bereaved families.
