Description
British Second World War poster designed to emphasise the need for people on the home front to use coal sparingly. Posters such as this one were common in the Second World War and gave those on the home front the sense of unity in their also playing a role in the overall war effort. Coal was one of the items that was used by just about everyone from every walk of life and by limiting its use domestically, it meant that more could be used in the production of essential war goods. The centre of this poster was left blank for individualised messages to be inserted.
This item has been digitised with funding provided by Commonwealth Government.
