EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this vintage advertisement from the Sheffield Hits Back Club! In 1943, during the Wings for Victory Week, Sheffield rallied together to raise an impressive £4,000,000 for the purchase of 100 four-engined Lancaster Bombers. This print showcases the original log books from that historic campaign. The image captures a moment frozen in history when over 480,000 proud citizens of Sheffield united their efforts towards a common cause - supporting their country's fight during World War II. The sheer determination and patriotism displayed by these individuals is truly inspiring. Published by the Sheffield Savings Committee, this advertisement serves as a reminder of how communities can come together in times of need. It symbolizes not only the resilience and strength of Sheffield but also highlights the power of collective action. Preserved at the prestigious Sheffield Local Studies Library (MP 1426 M), this print offers a glimpse into an era defined by sacrifice and unwavering commitment to victory. As you gaze upon it, let your imagination transport you back to those turbulent times when every contribution mattered. This remarkable piece from our city archives encapsulates both historical significance and emotional resonance. Let it serve as a testament to our shared heritage and remind us that even in challenging times, unity can triumph.
