Description: | This card was issued to Mr E J Line by the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents for the 1946 Safe Driving Competition. It explains that Mr Line, who worked for Central Buses, had won the 'Bar to Silver medal' but, due to 'the difficulty in obtaining the complete components, it is not possible to supply metal awards at present'.
The lack of metal components illustrates the severity of shortages during the Second World War and the impact of the rationing introduced in the early 1940s. | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | London Transport Museum | Rights holder: | Copyright unknown - Collection of London's Transport Museum | Subjects: | Transport London at War | Temporal: | 1946 | Source: | London Transport Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
