Battle for Fuel: We Must All Keep within Our Target!
Description
British Second World War poster promoting fuel savings. This is one of the 'battle for fuel' series. With the cost of the war mounting as the years passed, the British Government promoted domestic saving to provide more support for front line action. Many of these 'savings' posters associate home activities with front line activities, underscoring the concept of 'total war'. This poster outlines domestic targets for fuel savings.
