Brighton & Hove Aid to Russia Disc

Numbered plastic disc given for a contribution to the Brighton & Hove Aid to Russia Fund. The Joint War Organisation began an Aid to Russia Fund in 1941, with Mrs Churchill as the chairman. Around £8 million was raised over the course of the war, in part from contributions from the Penny-a-Week Fund. The Russian Aid funds provided everything from portable X-ray units, motor X-ray units and ambulances, to blankets, clothes, mediecines, medical equipment, and first aid kits. Good, clean condition and unusual.
