War Dig for Victory

1942 From the Minister of Food, The Rt. Hon. Lord Woolton.
“This is a food war. Every extra amount of vegetables in allotments saves shipping. If we grow more potatoes we need not import so much. Carrots and swedes, which can be stored through the winter help to replace imported food.

We must grow our own. We can no longer import ninety percent as we did before. The vegetable garden is also our National Medicine Chest – it yeilds a large proportion of the vitamins which protect us against infection.

I therefore welcome this booklet which encourages people to grow more vegetables.

The battle on the Kitchen Front cannot be won without help from lhe Kitchen Garden.”

Otherwise this personal project, made at my own expense, is my voluntary, free to access website made with goodwill to the community, so that the site gives free access to our community’s historic information. For those who desire to stop some photos being seen, review your motives; some photos were given to the local history centre and have been hidden for 20 years – why? I don’t have access to them. Surely when the community give photos to a local centre for free, the photos should be available to the public to view with free access and free sharing by digital reproduction on which we can add our own descriptions on our own websites and Facebook pages and other sharing sites? Please read the acknowledgements and thanks on the About section – there are some astounding links including the National Library of Scotland’s (NLS) zoomable historic maps, and sites of rail and coal historic sites and … see About. Perhaps the links will stimulate you to do your own research for your own personal education like this site that I made for personal research and education.
