Maple and Co munitions works, London, June 1918. Measuring out and cutting for the manufacture of tents destined for troops on the front lines in the last six months of the First World War. Maple and Co was a large department store selling furniture, carpets and interior fittings, but their workforce and factories were adapted to help the war effort. Photographed at one of the Maple and Co factories in north-west London.
