Where Our Products Fight!
Twelve numbered photographs of British troops and equipment in France, Italy and Burma surround a blank central panel under the headline 'Where our products fight!'. A key lists each scene, such as 'France: Clearing up at Bayeux'; the tell is the use of battlefield photographs to credit factory output with front-line results.
