This print takes us back to a significant moment in history - Salute the Soldier Week, held from June 24th to July 1st, 1944. The flier displayed prominently in the image serves as a powerful reminder of the collective effort made by Sheffield's residents during World War II. The flier boldly states that Sheffield's target for this event is an impressive £5,000,000. It implores citizens to contribute towards this goal through savings, emphasizing that every penny counts in supporting our troops. Published by the Sheffield Savings Committee, this document showcases their dedication to rallying support for the war effort. Preserved at the Sheffield Local Studies Library under reference MP 454 M, this original artifact holds immense historical value. It offers a glimpse into how communities across Britain came together during times of crisis and highlights their unwavering commitment to aiding soldiers on the frontlines. As we observe this photograph today, it serves as a poignant reminder of sacrifice and solidarity. Let us remember those who selflessly fought for our freedom and honor their memory by cherishing such artifacts from our past. This image encapsulates not only an important chapter in Sheffield's history but also symbolizes the resilience and determination shown by countless individuals throughout World War II.
