War Weapons Week and London Fire Brigade fireboats, WW2

The London Fire Brigade's fireboat Massey Shaw (which took part in the Dunkirk evacuations) and a fire float are moored at Westminster pier whilst their crews are promoting War Weapons Week. This scheme encouraged people to save in various Government accounts such as War Bonds or Defence Bonds. After the withdrawal from Dunkirk much of the army's equipment was left on the French beaches, and money was needed to re-equip them. Here London firefighters are trying to encourage the public to support the War Week scheme
