Description: | During World War I, the British Young Men's Christian Association (YMCA) supported the troops fighting in Europe. The YMCA huts provided soldiers with food, drink, and free writing paper.
Flag days became a common feature during the First World War. For the first time people were given something in return for their donation, which they could wear to show their support. They soon became a popular way to show patriotism. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Museum of London | Rights holder: | Museum of London | Subjects: | Public services London at War | Temporal: | 1917 | Source: | Museum of London | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
