War Bonds and Doing the Right Thing: Great Britain, 1943

JF Ptak Science Books

I’ve got a small collection of bond promotionals published by the British government during WWII, mostly though for 1942/4, and they have a great feel and sense of spirit, and right, and duty. All extolled the necessary and great need for money to fight the war.  The appeals were sensible, and direct, and asked people to loan the government money.

If you scroll down you can see a blank form for docking your paycheck to have some of it go to national defense.
