D18034. War Leader. - a photo on Flickriver

            D18034.  With the prospect of a war against Nazi Germany becoming more and more likely during the late 1930s, it was decided that a place of safety needed to be found where the Government and military leaders could carry out their vital tasks in the event of an aerial bombardment.  

Storage rooms in a London basement under some Government buildings were therefore hastily converted into office and living accommodation where the Prime Minister and his staff could work in safety.  These became known as the Cabinet War Rooms and they are now open to the public as a permanent museum and memorial to wartime leader Winston Churchill.  

Amongst the many items on display is this wartime cartoon of Winston and his coalition cabinet rolling up their sleeves to get on with the job of defeating the Nazis.
