Description: | This is a set of statistics showing the number of members and managers of the Eton Manor Boys' Club serving in the forces in 1944. The Club was founded in 1909 by a group of Old Etonians for the boys living in the impoverished area of Hackney Wick. These statistics come from the Club's house magazine, "Chinwag". "Chinwag" was read by a large number of Club-members, as well as its old boys. During the Second World War, it often carried the names and addresses of people from around the World who were known to Arthur Villiers, one of the Club's founders, and who could provide assistance to Club-members in the forces. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Bishopsgate Institute | Rights holder: | Bishopsgate Institute | Subjects: | London at War | Temporal: | 1944 | Source: | Bishopsgate Institute | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
