Posters for a local war savings campaign, followed by a parade and the arrival of 300 evacuees at Wilmslow station in July 1944. Savings week helpers board a train for the Buckingham Palace Garden Party and the Junior Service Corps and Church Lads Brigade compete at a sports day. A torchlit event takes place to change the savings target in October 1945 outside the Rex cinema and teenagers march during a recruitment week for Junior Services. The Air Training Corps, Girls Training Corps and RAF Cadets perform drills and the boy scouts and cubs are seen doing gymnastics. The film ends with cadets being presented with a ceremonial mace in 1945. |
