Feed the Guns Campaign - War Bonds
A Feed the Guns campaign week to attract the populace in Britain to buy War Bonds to help " End the War". Separate campaigns of special weeks were " led off " by spectacular displays in Trafalgar Square, London, which was transformed for each occasion into something resembling a huge circus. Tanks or guns, as the case might be, were " parked " and surrounded with skilfully built imitation trenches and entanglements; barriers and huts were erected, painted scenery was provided to form a background, giant posters almost hid the facades of the National Gallery and the buildings surrounding the Square, and hundreds of thousands of people were attracted of a class which could probably not have been reached by any other form of appeal. Vast business was done during these Trafalgar Square weeks, sums running into many millions being invested during each. So great was the enthusiasm roused that some business firms actually marched down their employees with bands and flying flags to make their purchases of bonds during the prevailing excitement. The statue to the left of this photograph is of General Gordon (of Khartoum) by Hamo Thornycroft was erected in Trafalgar Square in 1888, exactly halfway between the two fountains. It was removed in 1943 and is now on the Victoria Embankment. Date: 1917
