Four and a half annas for a pack of Gold Flake!!! What was the average salary then, I wonder!
On a more serious note, wonder how many of those who received this booklet found their way home.

As an example of overcoming adversity, Karoly Takacs has few peers. He was part of Hungary’s world champion pistol-shooting team in 1938, when an army grenade exploded, crippling his right hand. Ten years later, having taught himself to shoot with his left, he won two gold medals in the rapid-fire class.
