Image description: A view across Trafalgar Square in central London, which has been filled with a display to publicise the British war savings campaign. A large crowd of people mill around amongst a mock up of a Low Countries battlefield scene, complete with windmill, bomb damaged buildings, undulating ground and tree stump. There is also a tractor, used for transporting artillery, and a military truck on display, with a large poster mounted on the base of Nelson's column. There are three omnibuses in the immediate right foreground, as well as a few horse-drawn carts and vehicles along the road in the foreground.
