Description: | 1942
Leeds had adopted HMS Ark Royal for the City's Warship Week on 4th November 1941. Within days the ship had been torpedoed and sunk. The fund-raising objective changed from a target of ?3,500,000 for a replacement hull and some refitting to over ?5 million for a replacement ship. Warship Week became Ark Royal Week. This view shows a march past by WAAF's on The Headrow, during 30th January - 7th February 1942. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Ark Royal Parade Ark Royal Week | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
