Throwback to the past: During WW2, allowances played a significant role in supporting the war effort. Estelle Sylvia Pankhurst's Women's War Emergency Council advocated for fair allowances through comic postcards and posters. The New Black List compared allowances for the rich and poor paupers, while WWI posters announced new scales for soldiers' separation allowances. Recruitment posters promised train rides to win the war, and even petrol rations and oil tankers were depicted in advertisements. Let us honor the past and remember the impact on our history. #WW2 #Allowances #History #WarEffort
