You Are in the Battle for Fuel: Are You Keeping inside Your Target?
Description
British Second World War poster emphasizing the need for people on the home front to keep within their coal targets. Posters such as this one were common in the Second World War and aimed to link behaviours and actions on the home front with the success of the war effort. Coal was one of the items that was used by just about everyone from every walk of life and by limiting its use domestically, it meant that more could be used in the production of essential war goods.
This item has been digitised with funding provided by Commonwealth Government.
