Above are
two copies of the wartime issues of
'Forces' Lyons Mail. One is dated 2 July
1942 and the other July 1945. In the July
issue the pictures on the cover show Lyons
staff packing Army Composition (Compo)
food packs for the Pacific theatre. Note
the Nippy in picture one. While this was
probably a concocted series of pictures
for publicity, Lyons staff nevertheless
volunteered to pack these parcels and
those destined for the Red Cross and POW
camps.
