Wartime shells being packed up in 24F shop, ready for transportation in 1942
By 1943 the majority of Allied munitions production was undertaken by America and Canada. This eased the pressure on British workshops as there had become a serious shortage of materials. This image of 24F Shop in February 1942 shows one of the shell production lines being packed up, ready to be shipped to America. These particular boxes are marked up for New York; this city alone housed over 300 war plants and factories during World War II
