History

Maker(s): MESSRS TRUELOVE, HANSON & CO LTD, Manufacturer
Sponsor Type: public
Maintenance History: The First World War book was produced by Truelove and Hanson & Co, Oxford Street, who showed an interest in also producing the Second World war book which they would base on the First. As the books are similar, it is likely that they did produce the Second World war book also.
