A journey through time: From the major control unit of LCC-LFB at Lambeth HQ to the battlefields of World War II, this collection showcases pivotal moments in history. Witness the dedication of men at Yarrow Military Hospital as they tend to wounded soldiers. The Thanet VAD Motor Transport Group ensures supplies reach the front lines. At Yarrow Military Hospital, a rear view reveals the scale of wartime medical efforts. Nurses work tirelessly to save lives, while an American Red Cross Clubmobile brings comfort to soldiers in the UK. Flashback to Liverpool Exchange station in 1926, where the London Midland and Scottish Railway (formerly Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway) bustles with activity. Fast forward to a hospital in Chicago, a beacon of hope during times of peace. And let us not forget the historic General Strike, a defining moment in labor history. Amidst it all, a Russian field hospital in France stands as a testament to the resilience and compassion of humanity during times of crisis.
