Bananas, the Blitz, charitable women, bureaucratic reports.

[Mark Kohut]

A raffled banana that raised 15 shillings, a demonstration of how to comb
dog hair into a serviceable replacement for wool, and the serving of
thousands of meals to homeless women, children and the elderly in the
blitzed streets of Britain. The everyday struggles of the forgotten “hidden
army” of female volunteers during the second world war, all carefully
detailed in quadruplicate monthly reports, have been stored away in dusty
boxes for more than 60 years.
