EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph from the 1940s, we witness the Manufacture of General Service cupro-nickel war medals at the Royal Mint during World War II. The scene captures the industrious atmosphere of the factory floor, where workers are deeply focused on their tasks, contributing to the massive production effort. The process begins with the delivery of raw materials, including molten metal, which is poured into molds to create the blank medal discs. These discs are then inspected for quality before being transported to the next station. Here, intricate designs are stamped onto the medals using hydraulic presses, each one a testament to the skill and craftsmanship of the workers. Once the designs are complete, the medals undergo a series of rigorous quality checks to ensure they meet the highest standards. Any imperfections are corrected, and the medals are polished to a high shine. The final step involves the attachment of ribbons and clasps, transforming the blank medals into finished products ready for distribution. During the war years, the output at the Royal Mint was increased dramatically, with half a million General Service medals being produced each week. The dedication and hard work of the men and women employed at the factory played a crucial role in ensuring that the brave members of the armed forces received their well-deserved recognition for their service and sacrifices. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the industrial process of war medal production during the 1940s, highlighting the importance of manufacturing industries during wartime and the unwavering commitment of the workforce to the cause.
