EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: Wartime Survival: A Ships Lifeboat and Airmens Dinghy Equipped with Bovril Supplies during the Second World War 2.. Amidst the chaos and uncertainty of the Second World War, the importance of being prepared for survival at sea became a top priority for both military and civilian personnel. In this evocative image from the 1940s, a ships lifeboat and an airmens dinghy are shown side by side, each carrying essential supplies provided by Bovril, a well-known British catering brand. The lifeboat, a vital piece of safety equipment onboard ships, is equipped with several Bovril tins, including their famous Pemmican - a high-energy, nutritious food made from dried meat and fat. This lifesaving provision would have been a valuable source of sustenance for survivors in the event of a shipwreck. The airmens dinghy, a smaller, inflatable vessel used by the Royal Air Force, is also seen carrying Bovril tins. These dinghies were often used for evacuation and rescue operations, and the inclusion of Bovril supplies would have provided essential nourishment for airmen in distress. Bovril, a British company with a rich history in catering and food production, played a significant role in the war effort by supplying the military with essential provisions. The presence of their products in these wartime vessels serves as a testament to their importance in ensuring the survival and well-being of personnel during this challenging period. This photograph, taken in the 1940s, offers a poignant reminder of the resilience and resourcefulness of those who served during the Second World War and the vital role that everyday items, such as Bovril, played in their survival.
