Description: | These false arm attachments belonged to William Humphreys. He lost his right hand when he served with the Royal Navy in World War I. The attachments enabled him to work after the war. He became Superintendent of the Royal Navy stores at Vickers Armstrong in Newcastle. In 1936 he took part in the Jarrow Crusade to protest against high unemployment. He was not unemployed himself, but gave up his job to join the march.
