War Savings Campaign 1944
Presented by the War Office in recognition of successful achievement in Salute the Soldier Week.
At British Military Badges we found a similar plaque on sale for £250: “Moulded ivory coloured bakelite wall plaque. Measures approx. 35 X 58 cm and weighs about 3kg. Made by De La Rue Plastics {their name is on the back of the plaques}. The War Savings Campaign was set up by the British Government in November 1939. These wall plaques were presented to organisations for raising above a certain amount of money.”
