The resolution, signed by Arthur Henderson, Chairman and future Labour politician, expressed the commitment of men and women engaged in munitions work to postpone their holidays in order to ensure the continuous supply of ammunition, guns, and other war material. The resolution was a direct response to General Sir Douglas Haig's call for increased production to sustain the war effort. The determination of the working people to put the needs of the nation above their own personal needs is a testament to the collective spirit that carried Britain through the challenges of the war.
