1941 Asked Bottles Bullets Economising Empty Handbill House Hold Patriotic Rags Salvage Save Scrap Ww 2 Dust Bin
EDITORS COMMENTS
October 1941, Britain: A poignant reminder of the collective spirit and determination that defined the Home Front during World War II is encapsulated in this salvage handbill from Mary Evans Picture Library. Entitled "BOMBS AND BULLETS FROM YOUR DUSTBIN," the poster calls on every "Patriotic Household" to contribute to the war effort by saving and recycling various household items. The image features a woman, her hands on her hips, gazing intently at the viewer with a determined expression. The backdrop is a war-torn landscape, with bombs exploding in the distance and smoke rising from the horizon. The message is clear: every scrap of paper, every rag, every bottle, and every empty tin could potentially be transformed into valuable resources for the war effort. The handbill, published in 1941, reflects the spirit of economizing and salvage that was a crucial part of the war effort in Britain. With resources scarce and the threat of invasion ever-present, the government and civic organizations launched campaigns to encourage citizens to recycle and reuse as much as possible. This not only helped to conserve resources but also boosted morale by giving people a sense of agency and contribution to the war effort. The handbill's message resonated deeply with the British people, who responded in kind by collecting and delivering their salvaged items to collection points across the country. The image of the woman, with her strong and resolute stance, serves as a powerful symbol of the role that women played in the war effort, both on the Home Front and at the front lines. This historical artifact is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices and resilience that defined the British people during World War II.
