Summary

Display of army ordnance made from various waste and scrap metal sources during John Martin's "Waste goes to War" exhibition, held from March 21 to April 20. The display shows how ordnance such as shells and bombs can be manufactured from scrap metal and display signs encourage people to save and send in scrap metals. Some of the signs read "Your scrap gives birth to a bomb" and "Send in that scrap!". The large banner reads "Army equipment produced from scrap by Pope Products Ltd Beverly South Australia".
