Originating in the First World War, the War Savings Campaign was revived in November 1939 when local committees were re-organised. Special drives with great local activity were organised annually in the war years starting with the National Savings Week of June 1940 and followed by War Weapons Week, Warships Week, Wings for Victory, Salute the Soldier and Thanksgiving Week in subsequent years. By the end of 1945, £1.75 millions had been raised.
