This feature appeared in the Bromley & District Times calling for more to be done to save
Daddy’s Medal…
Our part in the Great Offensive doesn’t call for bravery, but it does call for devotion… Devotion to Duty. No matter how hard we work, no matter how much we save, we cannot equal the sacrifice made by the men who use the weapons we provide… But we must try, so that at the end of it all we can say that “by devotion to duty” we, too, have played our part. SAVE MORE
