EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Token of Survival: A Metal Check Receipt from the Royal Arsenal Co-operative Society, Woolwich, SE London, 1945" 2.. This evocative metal check receipt from the Royal Arsenal Co-operative Society (RACS), located on Powis Street in Woolwich, SE London, bears testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of ordinary people during the tumultuous half-year of 1944-45. The receipt, dated 6th January 1945, is a vivid reminder of the austere yet determined spirit that characterized the 1940s. 3. Background: The Royal Arsenal Co-operative Society was a thriving consumer cooperative that served the working-class communities of Woolwich and Plumstead during the early to mid-20th century. During World War II, the Society played a crucial role in providing essential goods and services to its members, many of whom were employed in the nearby Royal Arsenal munitions factory. 4. Design: The receipt's design is a striking combination of pink and green hues, with bold, clear text that conveys the essential information. The top left corner features the RACS logo, while the bottom right corner bears the signature of the cashier who issued the receipt. 5. Historical Context: The use of metal check receipts during the 1940s was a common practice due to paper shortages during the war. These receipts were often collected and exchanged for cash or used as a form of currency within local communities. The half-year ending on 6th January 1945 marked a significant point in the war effort, as the Allied forces were beginning to gain the upper hand against the Axis powers. 6. Conclusion: This metal check receipt from the Royal Arsenal Co-operative Society serves as a poignant reminder of the challenges and triumphs experienced by ordinary people during the 1940s. It is a testament to the enduring spirit of cooperation and resilience that helped communities thrive amidst the adversity of war.
