Thanks for sharing. I’ve seen that site, I think, as the photo looked familiar. But lots of interesting info there.
Cool article. Thanks for pointing it out. I found this line especially fascinating, “One estimate is that the largest government purchases in 1942 were, in order of weight, bullets, tea, artillery shells, bombs and explosives.” That’s a lot of tea considering how light it is.
Thanks for posting this interesting read.
Thanks for sharing Allan. How things have changed since then.
When you think about it they bought all the tea available to them not all the tea. Tea from Japan or occupied China was no longer available. But the fact that they thought it this important for morale says something.
