WORK OF MINISTRY OF TRANSPORT

IS FRONT LINE JOB: CIVIC PRIDE IN LONDON TODAY

***I AM NOT TELLING YOU ANY NEWS when I say that London has had a bad time, but it still carries on in more or less the same way. We have, of course, evacuated a number of children from the city, but from the point of view of business, business carries on in the same way as before. London is the nerve centre of the world and will remain so." said LIEUT:-COL. J. T.
