Egypt and the Suez Crisis, the French leaving Indo-China and the Vietnam War, independence for India and conflict in Palestine. Britannia is portrayed as 'nanny' to these problems, plus the domestic situation with demobbed British troops requiring a return to employment.From a series of albums containing newspaper and magazine clippings, assorted ephemera and a diary, kept by Mrs Lucy Awdry of 14 Franconia Road, Clapham, for the duration of World War II and recording wartime life in London.
