Action stations!

1 Jan 1940

"Action stations!" 56 A British destroyer doing 30 knots in a rough sea. There's ice in the wind and it's hard to keep your feet. An order rings out—"Action Stations". Every- one obeys at the double. This is war ... and everyone must help. Everyone! And that's as true here at home as on the high seas. Besides doing our own job each of us has another job we must do as well. Man or woman, rich or poor, every one of us must save. Save for all we're worth. Taxation alone cannot pay for our war effort.
